Thought provoking poem. Remember though, all babies cry and it does not necessarily mean that they are lonely nor drug infested. All babies cry.

A drug infested mind not allowing her to hear her baby cry.....so touching. Drug must be restricted. It can spoil the life. You have so touchingly captured it in this poem. Thank you dear Dave.10

Drugs don't just block out the pain they also block out humanity.

Absolutely beautiful and charmingly realistic. Desperate mother knows deep down but outwardly is eaten away.

How very sad...she keeps telling everyone everything is fine, has a drug-infested mind, and a lonely baby still cries...a poignant poem indeed...

Drugs have become the bane of modern man! A mother who is supposed to be all caring has become so numb and insensitive to the needs of her child! How many innocent children are fated to bear the brunt of disregard from their drug addicted parents! A great write!

Heartfelt and true. Drugs and alcohol numb our hearts and souls and we become unresponsive and uncaring.
