    sleep lil baby
    daddy ain't going nowhere away
    sleep lil baby
    the dark shadows won't come soon any day..

    close those big brown eyes of yours
    dream of a free world with peace not wars
    travel away to a world afar
    of no ego but contentment with power..

    don't shiver lil baby
    for you lay in my arms
    straighten those lines on your forehead
    ain't no care for all the false alarms..

    those creases on your forehead
    narrate to me fearful stories of mortality
    so i make you curl up to me close baby
    so you can never unlearn love's vitality..

    those lips turn up in a peculiar angle while you sleep
    your memories seem to be haunting you sown so deep
    i hold you closer but they don't seem to fade away
    guess you're thinking of your mama's death..t'was last monday..

    i shed a tear or two
    and i ruffle your hear like your beloved mama
    you smile in your sleep baby
    i smile at you too, we're away from the trauma..

    patting your head i fall asleep too
    dreaming of a colourful world out there that's not so blue
    we both lay close..there for each other
    i shed another tear, hoping it'd bring back your mother..

    there..i see her smiling at the two of us
    she's as b'ful as ever baby smiling lovingly at us
    but then she walks away..i clutch you tight
    she went away..far away into a light so bright..

    you must seek no revenge baby
    like these people out there with bullets and guns
    you must seek no revenge baby
    you must care..be it for butchers or nuns..

    i love so much my angel
    i ain't leaving you for anyone
    we'll fight em all alone you know
    we'll both fight as one..

    suddenly both of us wake up with a start
    i knew we'd be dead next moment
    but baby holding you close i whisper, we'll never be apart
    never fear my baby if they shall kill you before me..don't lament..

    we'll go up to be with your mama
    away from this drama
    no longer needing to fight this trauma
    in a happy place baby..come sleep
    shut your eyes..don't see..don't weep..

    i sing to you this strange lullaby
    i am waving my hand..but baby
    im never gonna say goodbye..

    i somehow dont like this word "lulla bye" ... cant stop relating it to its hindi meaning :D

    ur poem talks bou a baby being told by her mom that sleep oh litle one nothing bad will happen ... as far as ur writing skills are concerned its as always nothing midiocre ...but as a poem its too long and has less punch.. u some how get into the entire raam kahani og how the baby sleeps how the mother sleeps and so on which is booring... and yes finally u become larger than life saint kind "if they kill u before me ...." so as a matter of fact its an extream strech of saintly feelings ... and ppl might say good words but it but those would be just words like "may god bless u ...ohh so nice of you" just a response just a gesture ..!!
