The Life of a Baby

by michaelcahill


 
Is there anything more precious
than new life
    a baby bird
    dreaming of cloud conquering flight
           or a baby bear
           laughing at bees
                   with a honey smile
 
ahh, but the limitless potential
of a human baby ...
 
a future peace maker
     the curer of disease
         a champion of justice


 

as the bombs burst outside
the screams of birth are muffled
     but life has will
           life knows only to live

 
a mother will protect
and if running is the answer
               she will run
 
safety beckons
        she heeds the call
swaddling the most precious bundle
 

but poison
in the land of the free
         looks like honey
                   honey to draw animals
 
into a cage
 
                    a baby zoo ...
