The cradle cries
From the cold of loneliness
As the infant cringes in the darkness
Of the past
What could’ve now been a blessing
Ended up being a past catastrophe
Which you pushed with the help
Of rakes of harsh drugs
Now you call on God
After abandoning the gourd
Of the gods
To wake the blood drunk by the earth
Gnash your teeth
Weep aloud
Kill yourself with guilty thoughts
Till you join that plasma you impishly shed

The pain of losing a child fairly jumps off the screen! I have no idea how that feels but I can imagine!

This happens to go out for those who engage in abortions when young destroying their wombs and looking for babies presently. It is meant to tell them the blood they shed cries in the earth.
