Let Me Live

LET ME LIVE I have never lived Have never cried or ever lied I am a brand new creation knocking at your door My mission is to break into life through you Please do not make it a mission impossible As your belly expands day after day My joy multiplies at the same time My hopes lifted high up like the national flag Shelled within your tummy just like i am shelled in innocence Shelled in disillusionment Not knowing your devious plan The strategy devised by that malicious mind of yours The plan to terminate my existence before i inhale H2O Your idea to sever me from my life And destroy me as if i am an ogre,a hideous creature But what about my future? What about the talent castled in me? What about the change i was going to induce into the world? Think of all the things that lie in the days i will be on earth The fires i am going to stamp out The souls i am going to help The roles i am going to serve Mother,are you going to rob the world of all that treasure? Just because my father is a lunatic? Are you going to act naive like he did? Are going to reject me like he did? Reject me like Judas betrayed his salvation? Are you going to ignore the important so that you attend to the urgent? Whatever the situation Abortion can never be a right turn Don't we all start our journey in the belly and end it in the dust? Why deprive me of my chance to serve my purpose? What have i done wrong? What did i do to deserve execution before i even break out of the womb? What about the regret that will forever haunt you? What about judgement day? Today abortion may seem to be a great idea What about tomorrow? STREETPO3TRY
