Unloved 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 bones
take shape. when I was being formed in secret,
knitted together in the limbo of the womb
(The Jerusalem Bible)
