"Mother & I" By: Debbie Kennedy (poem in english)

Updated: Jun 2, 2023

A short prayer -

SUSCIPE, sancte Pater, omnipotens aeterne Deus, hanc immaculatam hostiam, quam ego indignus famulus tuus offero tibi, Deo meo vivo et vero, pro innumerabilibus peccatis, et offensionibus, et negligentiis, meis, et pro omnibus circumstantifus, sed et pro omnibus fidelibus Christianis vivis atoque defunctis: ut mihi, et illis proficiat au salutem in vitam aeternam.

Amen


My Mother (Jackie) and I, we can't put dad's brains back in head

and I can't stop that bullet from killing the King dead

Escape over and over I do try

All she & I can do is cry, cry, cry


Mother, Mother, Mother, Why do we lie

"Because classified is how they get by"

was always their reply

that's how much I can't deny


And so began the big lie

that continuously grew so high

secretly we kept meeting

none realizing how so defeating


Mother, Mother, Mother, Why do we lie

"Because classified is how they get by"

was always their reply

that's how much I can't deny


later when almost all was dead gone

how much hard it would be to be undone

back then year after year loving so

but keeping all from the know


Mother, Mother, Mother, Why do we lie

"Because classified is how we get by"

was always their reply

that's how much I can't deny


then blankness fell upon

most all-knowing in heaven

standing alone, with no one to help me

because of this eye, they keep on to see


Mother, Mother, Mother, Why do we lie

"Because classified is how we get by"

was always their reply

that's how much I can't deny


in the darkness they so encage

trapped both ways & full of rage

continually wronged & harmed

there is no loving one charmed


Mother, Mother, Mother, Why do we lie

"Because classified is how they get by"

was always their reply

that's how much I can't deny


maybe all should be alarmed

abolishing discrimination harmed


Mothers, Mothers, Why do we lie

"Because classified is how they get by"

was always their reply

that's how much I can't deny
