Listen Closely

Raise your children well, they are the future.

Close your eyes little baby

Let Mommy Rock you to sleep.

The world is scary little baby

Mommy hates to hear you weep.

Keep quiet little baby

When the demons come out to play.

Stay hidden little baby

Maybe they won't steal you away. 

Stay safe, stay pure little baby

You are the future.

Clever poem. Your writing almost makes me believe that there are demons out there.

[Kathrine Rethorn]

Weather they are metaphorical or physical they are there.

Well written! Simply grand! I can hear the musicality in this, and the cherry on top is that the last rhyme is not what it seems.....I had to do a double take to see what was going on, and found it rather interesting.... breaking structure on for the last little bit. Well done!

Thank you!, Im so glad some one feels the same as I do. I always feel that it help to startle the reader in case they are reading while spacing. As if it'll bring them back and make them rethink.

This is really an important message, something that brings peace. The world is reaching a stage where it seems no place is safe other than mother's. But we all hope in humanity and things will change for the better and for our future generations...

I am sure that Mother will be the protector. Down the ages this HAS to be true.

Yes, the world is a scary place and only getting more frightening.

[Kathrine Rethorn]

Day by day its getting worse. Wish we could all just get along. Thanks for the visit!
