milkless

by Cynth'ya Lewis Reed — Read all 584 poems by Cynth'ya Lewis Reed

By your reading of this latest piece, most American streets will include conversation of the slaughter at Nickel Mine in Lancaster County Pennsylvania. I have family in Pennsylvania. Even though they are not Amish, those people are part of our entire human family in pursuit of peace.

I now give you a quote on record by our commander in chief, George W. Bush.

"We've transferred adversaries into allies," Bush told the Georgia Public Policy Foundation, in a reference to Iraq and Afghanistan. "America is safer and America is winning the War on Terror."

. . .And now without apology I offer the following rendition that just spew'd forth from the pain I feel about more dying children at the hands of terrorists in this nation attacking our schools. God Bless America, we need it badly.

Poem Artwork


There is no milk in Nickel Mines
There is no compassion with human kind
and bloody bonnets are pleading from the skies,
"What about America?"

Our schools are bleeding
Our teachers are fearful
and bloody bonnets now plead from the skies,
"What about America?"

Our soldiers are dying
protecting the rights of those
who hate our nation.
and bloody bonnets are pleading from the skies,
"What about America?"

The slaughtering of the babies
we cradl'd that we wanted
out with a BANG in our own back yard.
And Grandma's hands who craft'd virgin white linen baby bonnets ask, 
"What about America?"

Our drop out rate in cities
is tarnishing opportunity
What about America?

Economic terror bleeding families pockets
to a crusty dryness, their cries being ignor'd
as pearls of human rights are being
being tramp'd upon by infidels
from the Atlantic to the Pacific

What about America?
What about liberty?
What about happiness
What about life?
What about life?
What about happiness
What about liberty?
What about America?

What about God?
Our children can't even pray in school.
Teachers, lock your doors. . .
You can't get decent contracts
But America expects you to perform
to the standards of nations who hate us,
and  C-average students named George
care more about the glory of war
than the milk of wisdom that will
guard you from death and ignorance.
So today we honor the bonnets,
for they have been wash'd in the
blood of the Lamb,
May His wool will warm you from
the cold of leaders who watch'd
your milk of safety go sour at home.

Author's note: Why are gas prices dropping? Figure it out. . . it's election time! And people are still so stupid they still believe electoral tricks, smoke and mirrors, and the people still suffer.

It's time for a change America. It's time to clean Congressional House. blessin's
for the people,
cynth'ya

Loved your last 2 lines, Cynth'ya. We all need a wake up call--not because we don't see, but because we don't want to act on what we see. Thanks for sharing this timely piece. Wendi
