Just One Among Many
A certain thirty-nine-year-old man who is blatantly Pro-Life
Never thought it worthwhile to take for himself the wife
Confessed to me that he has ten children by the same woman
He has the reproductive habits of some notable vermin!
This single woman has spent her life, thus far, raising his spawn
A man who never gave a thought to putting a condom on,
Told me he has never changed a diaper or nursed a sick kid
Or wondered where his next meal is coming from, heaven forbid!
His children, classic cases of those deprived of a loving father,
Will likely be a burden on society for longer than they’d rather
Now consider that one of the ten might become a serial killer ~~
Wouldn’t it have been better if that one had been an abort?
Be that as it may, worst is that they will continue to consort.
What are pro-lifers doing to give poor kids better living styled?
Seeming to care more for a collection of cells than a living child.

[Incidentally, this is a true account of a man
I met yesterday who does yardwork for cash
to avoid child support!]
