Is it Roe vs. Wade, or is it wrong vs. right? It simply comes down to death vs. life.

She cries alone in her room at night.
Repulsively gripping  her pillow so tight.
Taunted by visions of her unborn dead.
Disfigured and mangled, dementedly webbed.
Her emotions feel twisted irrationally insane.
While she searches her soul for someone to blame.
Whimpering cries of horrendous fear,
her baby torn apart with surgical gear.
Diminutive and tiny was her gentle seed.
Which only time… could make complete.
But through this malicious act of violence.
Forever her child has been silenced.
Her hearts pulsation not free of guilt;
Now only tears….For precious blood spilt.
By social pressures her choice was made.
She is totally confused with issue: Roe vs. Wade.
dreadfully tarnished is her very young mind.
Still searching the questions…. of this lawful crime.
“Is it wrong?”
“Is it right?”
” Is it death?”
” Is it life?”
While liberals lobby with white house charters.
Millions of children are aborted to slaughter.
For justice their blood cries out from the heap…..of tiny hands and tiny feet.

    This is a very sad situation.

    very timely! Abortion really should not be an issue of legality but of morality.. the beautiful way you expressed this should be enough to convince everybody that unborn children also have a right to live..

    Someone once said of the question: “When does life begin?”

    If something isn’t dead, then its counterpart is life. That keeps it simple for me. (unknown author) I believe Ronald Reagan said something much like that in an article regarding the subject.

    Excellent job. Nice flow too. Takes courage to handle a topic like this one, but tiny hands and tiny feet is a great motivator.

    You’ve added a voice for those silenced before they have a chance to speak. You’ve taken on a difficult topic and created a beautiful poem. Perhaps the message may reach more ears when spoken so sweetly.

    This is a touchy subject,I’m just going to leave it at that.

    Very touchy indeed. But you have expressed it so well-it is certainly horrible.

    Yeah this is a touchy subject indeed! You have done it quite well though, I have joined wikinut.com after Triond and I am so far evenly dividing my works. Covering the base I guess. I tried to do two of these types of poems. I think one is here and one is there they are subtle maybe to subtle and a Friend told me so, So I made of point of stating it in the title page or in its summary, so in the title pages from now on I’ll be putting in “Pro-Life, it is not a Choice!” Now I know I may need to define this as I grow. Their titles are “A Tulip is only, But a Flower” and “Under the Weeping Willow Tree” Very well you have done sadly there are hate filled, slaughters still, who would unknowingly disagree and say it is a womans choice. I say even if it was not her choice the fact is it was not that child’s choice A seed belongs to God who dares to uproot or sow in any other way then what He has prescribed shall answer to Him directly! all Abortion is wrong accept to save the Mothers life, and then hard liners would say that this is even wrong, I believe those fanatics are wrong very wrong!
