Forsaken

Tears fall like rain upon their grave, they are the ones that none can save. To those who love outside God’s rule or cannot reproduce man’s pool, the pearly gates will not unlock preserving whiteness of God’s flock. Tears fall like rain upon their grave, they are the ones that none can save. Love only counts if couples share ability to sire a heir, no sterile man may take a wife for broken tools will not suffice. Tears fall like rain upon their grave, they are the ones that none can save. Much worse than this, is also found the graves of babies in the ground outside the church, beyond God’s care, as bastards are not welcomed there. Tears fall like rain upon their grave, they are the ones that none can save. Ivor G Davies

Brilliant work on the use of rhymed quatrains and alternate couplets. The use of repetition is also very effective and your chosen theme profoundly discoursed upon, with valid views and conclusions. I have to say here that babies are not "forsaken" or damned, only those children that have reached the age of accountability, or when they come to know right from wrong. That could be around six or seven years old.
