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...
This piece portrays the awful consequence of drugs. I feel really upset.Descriptive write.
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!
the pathetic condition of a drug addict and the unfortunate baby.....no words can b enough to describe the state of this dreadful condition...

A real good poem, A lesson well taught by this poem, Well written
Well written i have seen through the eyes of the child who cries and must say I love it Describes the moment that lead up to my poem no memories no pictures Until she opens her eyes a lonely baby still cries
Heartfelt and true. Drugs and alcohol numb our hearts and souls and we become unresponsive and uncaring.
good write.i again like your style of short lines, but meanwhile it also conveys the message aptly.
Truly, truly... Took my breath and hurt (a compliment) the juxtaposition of possibilities of (t) . Ty dave.. I love the raw emotions of humanity of your writes... Ty.., Karen
Thought provoking poem. Remember though, all babies cry and it does not necessarily mean that they are lonely nor drug infested. All babies cry.
