something I wrote a few years ago~pam~



Drug addiction all around
Tiny little babies found.
In a trash can, on a step.
Mothers really needed help.
Tiny little baby cries
drug addiction in her eyes.
Mother hastily creeps away
another baby another day.
Tears from heaven up above.
All the baby needs is love.
Baby dies
community cries.
In a grave the baby lies.
Mourners come from all around.
But never is the mother found.
Drug addiction
all around.
Another little baby found.
