A Home of Love
I watched a movie last night
where Denmark was fighting
against Prussia
using body parts in canons
To devastate the enemy
infection and disease
spreading through
the enemies ranks
When will people
learn to live in peace
when will people learn
to treat each other as brothers
A girl got pregnant
to one of the soldiers
Her mother threatened
to kick her out
Children make mistakes
children find love
sometimes with the wrong people
yet they are your children
If my child got pregnant
I would not turn my back
I would not kick her out
I would not make her suffer
We would make
room in the house
for a new baby
and encourage the mother
To further her education
to gain financial independence
to build a life
for herself and her baby
Granted children need both parents
but sometimes things happen
my children would always
have a home
