ANOTHER BABY DIES Hesitation The exact definition of lost frustration Will it survive the long duration, Or go down the drain with our great nation? Abomination Man lies down with man And babies are an inconvenience Who die in justice's hand What's to come of this barren land? The answer still lies in the footprints in the sand We make the bed we lay in We reap the crop we sow What the future holds-- Only God knows And we make our bed of self destruction Our poisioned seed under construction Still, we hesitate to do what's right And we lose the frustration as we lose the fight Everyday we lose our rights In the name of democracy The Ten Commnadments are ripped from the courts "Under God" is now a curse Why isn't the silent majority heard? I often wonder why... The snooze button has been hit too many times to count No one hears our cries And in the name of civil justice Another baby dies BY MOONJAVA
Beautiful and powerful... I, myself, am selectively pro-choice; I feel that it's justified in very few situations (i.e. rape victim who is impregnated and does not want to birth a child that was conceived through pain). The message is very clear though; very nice writing.
Thanks, Ocean_Byrd. I appreciate your feedback, and also the fact that you, being pro-choice, would be open minded enough to read and respect my writing. luv mj
i didnt really see much in that to do with abortion to be honest, appart from a few very vague references. however i think it sums up the hypocracy of the modern state, and christianity
I've always thought of a poem as a vague reference to an idea; I don't think I've ever read one that stayed solely on topic.
I disagree with you but that doesn't mean I can't see how good it is, I really liked the poem even though I thought it was ridiculous.... I may be atheist but I still love "How great thou art"
sure sure but if i was to write a poem about the problems facing famine victims in africa then babbled on about something unrelated appart from 2 places where i say the words "famine" and "africa" that wouldnt be an overly great way to express a poem about famine victimes in africa would it? i like the poem, i just dont think it tackled the self proclaimed subject
i agree with this quote. sorry, but there seems to be an awful lot of condemning in this poem. is that the loving message of Christ?
hmmm, this is all constructive critisism, i like the poem, i like the structure, and the balence that it has i just dont think it tackled the subject matter
i love to feelings you wrote about so intense and almost very sad that this choice is needed within this world... yet choice is human nature. im afraid a woman needs the choice for her path in life may depend on each step taken.. yet i also believe outlines for the choice are needed such as spoken above but we should never abuse a couple or woman for making the choice ......... its a hard fact abortion is here,yet no one has stopped to ask why unwanted babies happen...why rape can happen why condoms split why the pill didnt work why we have no real safe protection,for our woman and men {unless you have surgery..mmm} who suffer what ever choice is needed....so lets hope we find something to stop the numbers of abortions in this world.. again i loved the feel you wrote its very moving .. thank you from saff lovenpeace..
I see your point, but there ARE those 2 references in there, and that is why I put the warning on the subject.... because I know what a touchy subject abortion is, and if someone is going to read and be offended.... I think it is best to warn them first. luv mj
