This is a story of unsafe abortion, especially here in Third World Africa where young girls patronize quack gynecologists to help them terminate pregnancy in other to avoid shame and embarrassment from the public.
KILLED BEFORE DELIVERY
The spermatozoon fertilized the egg at its peak
Conceiving the lucky embryo
The enlargement of her womb at sixth week
Makes it difficult to tell though
Whether it’s fibroid or embryo
When flag fails to show red
She thought it’s abnormal or seized
Eighth week got to suspicious speed
Helter-skelter she ran indeed
Searching therapy to exterminate seed
Planted by Almighty with a mission
But she’s dumb to remember
That it has right to live from conception
She started counting the number
Of ways of killing with tender
The killer killed the foetus
Right before delivery
Saving her falling from Olympian status
That adultery brought with mystery
When father fled in jittery
Why killing fly with hammer
Whether safe or unsafe
No excuse for anti-lifer
Pro-abortionist increase maternal grief
When taking a seed off
The law puts it clear
Either natural or manmade
That it needs special care
And be safeguarded with aid
Before and after it’s laid
