For The Baby Is Trying To Sleep

For The Baby Is Trying To Sleep

A Poem by Melody
"

Fresh write. Please, read and tell me what you think.

"
The world is getting louder,
with the parties raging
and the guns firing in the alleyways.
The world is getting louder,
the whispers preaching bigger 
but never gaining for the better.
I need the world to quiet.
I need the world to stop shouting,
and to shut its mouth.
With its nosy media, and the annoying
burst and busts of breaking windows,
for a person who never gets the sleep
with the world, this is where I wish the
living were frozen and the dead were awakening.
The underworld is where the harps will play 
when I walk in through the gates
and the sky is where I cringe and hide 
from a world of pointless laughter and painful sun.

The world is getting louder,
with the crime rates racing
and the life a motive of murder.
The world is getting
louder
louder louder
louder louder louder.
The world is a place where 
an everlasting noise will never stop.
The criticism and the aimed fingers 
like the pitchforks and gallows of the Salem Trials.
If the world would please just quiet quiet...quiet down,
because there is a baby sleeping somewhere in the world
and with this noise it will never learn the meaning
of peaceful dreams and restful rest.
So could everyone please just quiet
for this growing baby is just trying to get some decent sleep.

Author's Note

Melody
There is a baby trying to get some sleep. So the parties will slumber and the shots would stop, because there is a baby somewhere in the world, just wanting to know the meaning of peaceful sleep and a night of no nightmares

Not bad. Simple concept, but you've made it very interesting and kept the stakes high. I think some of your language is a little overwrought in places - it feels like you're trying too hard at times - but really, you've executed this very well. Good work.

This is truly amazing. To me it illustrates a world losing control of its vices and the baby is a symbol of hope.
