Poem
There are so many people who will stand up In the cause of speaking for others, but What is the motivation for this act I mean what do they gain to be more exact I mean, they speak for some, but who will speak for all Whose Life is more valuable....that's what I must ask yall At the moment of conception, who will we cherish And who will receive our condolences when they perish Some never got to taste breath, many never saw the light of day And if they had a chance, I imagine this is what they'd say I never got my chance to lie, I never got my chance to tell the truth I never got to be the elderly, I never got to be the youth I never got to Love, I never got to hate I never had to rush, I never had to wait I never got to laugh, I never got to cry I didn't get to win or lose, I didn't even get to try I have never seen the sun, I have never seen the moon I never felt a midnight, I never touched a noon I never got to steal, I never got to earn I never got to teach, I never got to learn I didn't get to work, I didn't get to play I never had to leave, I never got to stay I never had my chance to listen, I never had my chance to tell I never got to buy, I never got to sell I never got to kill, I never got to save I never had my chance to be bad, I never had my chance to behave I was never your worst enemy, I was never you closest friend I never forgot to say I Love you or to ask how have you been But it's only Life right....I mean, you got your chance to record it But we will never get ours....we are the aborted "The Aborted" by: Eric L. Boddie
