Notes About The Poem

This poem is a true story from the summer of 2023.

Messengers

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. ~

But they will cry their eyes out over dogs cats,birds and elephants, bears, lions and fish. Humans?i think not. I know of one person who wrote a pro life poem . This includes Poets from all countries, thumbs down on human life. Hitler lovedabortion. He learned it from Margaret Sanger in the USA! 1,359 babies killed in the USA daily. And there are homes willing to adopt. But we kill them first? Pangie
