Human Sacrifice

A baby is a gift from god
But when a father decides
To sacrifice a defenceless baby
By throwing it in the sea
What can you think except that
This person and others involved 
Should receive a harsh penalty and damnation 
May the baby find peace in the next world
For it didn’t have a chance in this one.
