『DAVID BARSAMIAN: CINDY SHEEHAN INTERVIEW』 March 2006(The Progressive)

Question: Your daughter Carly wrote a poem called “A Nation Rocked to Sleep.” She gave this to you just a few weeks after Casey’s death.
Cindy Sheehan: Yes, she did, and here’s the first and last verse of the poem:
Have you ever heard the sound of a mother screaming
for her son?
The torrential weeping of a mother will never be
done.
They call him a hero, you should be glad he’s one,
But have you ever heard the sound of a mother
weeping for her son?
Have you ever heard the sound of a nation being
rocked to sleep?
The leaders want to keep you numb so the pain won’t
be so deep.
But if we the people let them continue, another mother
will weep.
Have you ever heard the sound of a nation being
rocked to sleep?
Q: What did this poem do for you?
