Right To Life

Maybe, Jesus would have 
thought «Roses are red, violets are 
blue», if He 
had not been crucified

Or maybe, He would not had
asked «Father, forgive them for they don’t 
know what they’re doing!», if He
had not been betrayed

Maybe, many would have
lived much longer, if man with sane mind 
had not been obsessed 
with war, war, and more war

Or maybe, I would have 
grown «As lovely as a tree», if death
had never been mine 

for I, a blooming word, had a goal 
not to live life like sperm only minutes 
to an hour after being libidinously
ejaculated outside from one's sacredness
