…SIDS. Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. Every year, seven thousand babies die with no visible cause—just fall asleep and never wake up…
The “death in the cradle” syndrome—or DEATH UNDER THE “CRADLE.”
To the lullaby, which, they say, in some ancient cultures were sung to children during famine and drought. Or when the tribe grew so large that it could no longer feed itself on its own land.
To the lullaby that was sung to those maimed in battle and fatally ill—to everyone for whom it would have been better to die.
Quiet. No pain. No suffering… This is the “Lullaby.”
