If you are an expert of sad songs let me know

I can not bring myself to write the haunting feminine melody my lyric deserves.

If you can offer a sincere effort of collaboration let me know by PM

Of the 1,200 lyrics I have written this one still haunts me in a special way.

I know Sorcha but haven't networked here effectively to know who to ask in particular.



...........
The baby so thrilled to walk


baby's so thrilled to walk
Her eyes surprised
with earthly delight.
I melt with pride at her first free flight.
Then on TV Dick Cheney chokes
"We'll lose more lives here
than those overseas"
I believe he speaks of disease.

A briefing at work today
would make an athiest pray
The words all go to my
bare brittle bones
"Hon, can you put her on the phone?
Hi sweetie, it's mommy.
I will be coming home
real soon, don't cry."

The Conquistadors
murdered indians
9 out of 10 with disease
Now the work in our labs
is so cruel and wild
it freezes every breath.
Their war makes my loving touch
the instrument of our death.

In sane times the insane mom
would drown a helpless child.
The lab down the street
had bugs frozen and filed
when the power went out
and the bugs got out
leaving me with a choice
I can not whisper or shout.


Will I pretend "Sweetie you're fine"
Could I watch her agony to the end?
Behind lead eyes I keep secret
If it is her time
If the crime is plague or pox
Could I end her torture at all costs?
"Baby remember when you walked?
Shhh it'll be fine."

Here honey take this, you will sleep.
The love in your eyes is so sweet
Its all I wish to keep
Shh sweetie, I'll be next,
I'll not have long to weep,
I'll not have long to weep.
