This poem is a true story from the summer of 2023.
North Howard Street on a hot summer Friday,
two elderly men quietly praying on a sidewalk
outside a Baltimore, Maryland Planned Parenthood,
suddenly a single man assailant brutally battered
the both of them,
the concrete the men were slammed down to
was hard and unyielding.
Although they were bloodied with broken bones
and bruises,
they returned to the Planned Parenthood the
next Tuesday.
Two more of God's messengers,
witnesses for a chance His babies can
be born-
who cannot speak up for themselves.
Jesus shed His life's blood-
so we could truly live too. ~
