Feeling the Earth Cry

Feeling the Earth Cry

A Poem by Mother Maggie

Author's Note

Mother Maggie
Immense weight pressing
Shoulders hunched to the ground
Warm crimson saline floods
Washing my head and back
Drenching my feet in the sorrows of the ages.

Heart gripped in a vise
Ears ringing with the din of wronged souls

Who will hear their anguish?
Who will answer the Mother’s call to justice?
Who can feel the earth cry?

I like,
This whole piece is wrought with strong mental imagery ever your forte I begin to think. I have to say though this line threw me a bit.
"Warm crimson saline floods"
Not sure what this was exactly meant to present as an idea, just being honest. The whole of this is very strong and almost depressing. I like that.
Sincerely

I weep for her. this is a very sad piece, great work but sad. You are a poet through and through. I really like the part about the mother's cry for justice...
She deserves it.
