About Abortion

Humans shaming us with deeds vile as any satanic rite Lumps of flesh dumped in alleys under cover of darkness Blessed not to know life, spared a sorry plight From biological parents who met to sate compelling desires of the flesh Irresponsibility and weakness combining to abandon fruits of fleeting carnal lust Visiting shady clinics manned by leeches fuelled by greed Their outlook distorted from vending Death, while Hippocrates’s oath gathers dust Pall bearers to that love which drowns the child after flowering the seed Clinics flourishing on mankind’s myriad perversions – enticing doom For their ability to delve into the realms of the unknown Long before the end of nature’s cycle in the womb At will deciding those destined to perish and those deemed fit to breathe on Society, a bad joke in any part of the world, has decreed Those born out of wedlock to live in the fringes Pondering not the fate of those victims of misdeeds The hapless women who've suffered man’s intemperate binges Spare a thought for those luckless women Whose conscience forbids them from killing the child within Those who had motherhood forced upon them And bring forth the child only to be damned as living in sin How heartless can we get, denizens of a world bound by lofty tenets Hypocrites all, we have condemned them to a life of shame Victims of betrayed trust, lust and the wretched Fates How life makes them suffer, they become indifferent to pain Rearing children of fiendish lineage Praying fervently that their children don’t take after them Transition from repressed childhood to youth, knowledge to rage The tussle is deadly, and the winner Abel or Cain
