The Phoenix

The Phoenix and beast in their elegance; Effulgent, in all its lively ignorance; Could she foretell her sinful breath; would sadly soon be stilled in death Creator divinely will triumph ultimate Where, one day we all will be intimate In the name of the Lord, said a pledge From the bottom of heart, a judge Let me kiss her, not let her go out Let me kill her, not let her go out The coldness of the grave is known, The dusty destiny is ever unknown.

Human life is sacred because from its beginning it involves the creative action of God and it remains forever in a special relationship with the Creator, who is its sole end. God alone is the Lord of life from its beginning until its end: no one can under any circumstance claim for himself the right directly to destroy an innocent human being.-WILLIAMSJI MAVELI
