Umnnloved and Unwanted

UNLOVED AND UNWANTED

An embryo is being formed,
in silence taking place.*
And then is heard, the word “Abort”,
what heard … was no mistake.

What child wants to be dismembered,
in the garbage be thrown?
Sadly unloved and unwanted,
by God only … is known.

 Psalm 139” 16 “You know me through and through, from having watched my bone stake shape. when I was being formed in secret, knitted together in the limbo of the womb
(The Jerusalem Bible)

Joe Dimino Date: 2/2/2023 8:19:00 PM A sad reality, all too often. When history is written years from now, the fall of American will be traced back to abortion being allowed as just another form of contraceptive -- murder accepted for expedience.

Now I going full steam ahead. I really like your comment. I have been getting permission from other poets to post their comments under my poem. Want to do this in my book, if ever finish. May I have written permission from you, to quote you? Thanks for hello.

Patrick Kelly Date: 12/12/2022 11:32:00 AM Barbara I have read a lot of your poems. I really like this one and was touched by it. Never fear to speak on abortion. It is of Satin and no different than what was happing in the days of Nimrod and the false god Moloch. They just make it seem innocent today.

Barbara Barry-Nishanian Date: 12/12/2022 6:31:00 PM Patrick, Thank you for saying, "never fear to speak:. I a glad you were aware children were sacrificed to Moloch, made to go through the fire. I am trying to be very courageous in poems I am writing for a book. Thank you so much for your support. May I soup mail you a question? Not sure how to do this.

Bj Legros Kelley Date: 11/30/2022 12:54:00 PM Such a sad, sad poem Barbara, thank you for writing this. I am blessed with adopted children. I celebrate that they were birthed and filled my waiting arms with their sweet presence. I once had a doctor who did abortions for years until he saw an ultrasound of a baby during his/her abortion, the doctor never did another abortion after that. I've seen pictures of babies who were aborted, TRAGIC. Login to Reply Barbara Barry-Nishanian Date: 11/30/2022 9:46:00 PM I agree it's sad. Shows no respect for God's laws or for life. I can't believe I have the courage to type such a poem. I hope it makes people think of what a horrible sin to commit. Glad you adopted your children, what a loving person you must be. Thanks for visiting.
