Babies Don’t Bounce

Babies Don’t Bounce

A Poem by Neville
"

There is no such thing as a bouncing baby, if you try, they break.. those that try disgust me....

"

Babies Don’t Bounce

 

Babies don’t bounce

Bullace are blue

Babies don’t bounce

Bruises are too

Babies don’t bounce

Brute that you are

Babies don’t bounce

Too often in this world, children suffer for their parent's inadequacies. A young mother or father, frustrated over bills, divorce, or a thousand other things can lose it when baby cries or is too fussy. Most of them don't mean to hurt the child, I believe, but they sometimes do. Other times, it may be a result of drug/alcohol abuse. Not everyone is capable of being a parent. Some should never have children at all. Period. How inadequate it is that the most important job in the world, (parenting) requires no qualifications, whatsoever. Your poem's message is hard-hitting and very important.

WOW! Someone put some bitter bullace in your water I’m afraid! This looks simple, but it’s so powerful. We rarely see a poem written in such a direct way. Some topics can’t be fluffed up by poetry & shouldn’t be. I wish I could approach something – anything – with this much intensity (((NUGS))) Fondly, Margie

I actually felt quite shocked when I read this short poem Neville. Kept reading it over and over, because one of the lines I don't understand. "Bulace are blue", not sure what that means, but the rest of it came through really strongly. Who has been hurting babies? Response please dear Neville, and good afternoon. You certainly grabbed the headlines with this little number.
