Survivor In You

In this mercy red sea, That beholds me; I am a survivor; Maybe?? Swirling masses; Commentary contractions; Bodily disasters; Mama don’t look so surprise; That you hurt from your toes to your inner-thighs; You head burns, backaches with the movements; I am swimming; In this worldly mass inside your cavity; Your body now mines; People on the outside see a bump (maybe)??? Abortion or Not?? Humans say I’m in the stomach; In this mercy red sea, That beholds me; I am a survive; Maybe?? What trimester………. This isn’t the horse races Get rid of that x ray, you can’t see my faces??? I CAN see you’re confused; This shape you will lose; What you mean you don’t know who my father is?? What you mean you been with only ONE man?? Liar!! Mother I can hear you; Mother I can feel too; As I swim in this pool; Which is within you? God forbids you ABORT me; If so back to heaven I’ll go; But what about you; WILL I DON’T KNOW Written words by James Edward Lee Sr. 12/01/18
