The Defendless Unborn Child

How can the defendless unborn child
protect himself from the threat of death?
No, he cannot speak or see the murderer
who has no pity for his tiny being...
wanting to be born and be cuddled
by his mom who has waited for the joyful
moment when her tears will flow.

If a leader approves such a heinous act,
she is also guilty and capable of murder:
let this land not be stained by innocent blood,
let no defendless unborn child be slaughtered!

I am grateful to mother for allowing me
to been born and cry in her warm arms;
blessed be her noble and pure soul
which has ascended into Heaven!

Mothers who bear children
know how they enrich their lives
when they take the first steps,
when they call them " Mom. "

No woman planning to kill
the defendless unborn child
should be allowed to live among us;
her existence will be deprived of joy,
and her days as dark as night.
