Little Victim

Little baby in the dark Waiting for your chance to start For days on end, you've been alone Longing for a loving home Tiny fingers, tiny toes Mommy's blue eyes, Daddy's nose More precious than a pot of gold Or any treasure earth can hold Dear Child, you'll never know your birth For you've been denied your worth The very ones you think you trust Choose not to treat you fair and just You'll never take life's first breath Or cradle at your mother's breast You'll never feel life's joys and pains The sunshine's warmth, the cool, wet rain So many things you'll never know And numerous places you'll never go Because, convenience rules the day And selfish motives have their say But--animal's rights are well seated And law is broke if they're mistreated Too bad you're not a baby seal Then death's cruel blow you would not feel So innocent and defenseless Newborn babies should be priceless Instead, they'll throw you in the trash In exchange for some cold hard cash And not just you, but everyday Thousands more die in the same way A silent holocaust of the unborn In the U.S.A., home of the (free?) forlorn Little Victim in the dark Waiting for your birth to start For days on end,you've been alone Longing for a loving home
