The Billionth Abortion

We are being subdued as if meant to stay silent. The deed is done and cannot be undone. Let's just move on, forget it ever happened. Crush the conscience as if the child within. Dismiss the sin, call it human error... Or human terror... Has it finally come to this? Man can go to the moon... Yet can kill his own son... He can give him up to strangers And stranglers... What use is romantic love If it can roam to death? What use is St Valentine's Day If the baby dies on April the first? And what use is marriage If it offers lifelong friendship But ends in eternal shame? God forbid that I fall in love Yet to no useful purpose... Smothered with kisses Yet later smothered in blood. I want to sleep at night With peace in my heart Not tears in my eyes...
