ABORTED REALITY
Stolen and re-rooted here,
We can no longer be as
Their virgin forest—
Raped and impregnated
By heirs of their slavery,
And rechained with infertile
Emancipation ejaculations:-
With this climax,
Need I seek to excrete
Anymore aborted reality?

My Aborted Baby
Crepuscular rays filtered through the trees:
Tall black cypresses around a dark shrine,
Evening grim bells toll as I feel the freeze,
Conscious the tomb covered with rambling vine,
While nocturnal butterflies just decline.
I could not help utter a maze of sighs,
My desolate unborn baby just lies,
Never forgotten, but always evoked
Except the woman who'll never get wise.
Cursed

Aborted
America, land of the free,
riches and opportunity,
abound from sea to shining sea,
dreams become reality.
Everyone has the right to be,
equal voice of society,
everyone that is…except me,
was not given the chance to breathe.

Aborted Trauma Tales
When you and your wife visited,
you shared a question asked by a pastor
of a raped
and thereby pregnant
vulnerably young and questioning parishioner.
"If your unborn child survived
his first year
and walked back into your home
do you think you would still want to kill him?"
Probably not,
I'm thinking.
And,
perhaps more pastorally significant
and responsible,
how can we, in resilient compassion for ourselves
and for

Superman Aborted
How bird-like a new fetus is,
like a chick in an egg,
the delicate spine curved,
all the fine bones promissory wish-bones
tucked into s floating nest.
Unseen embryonic pathways
are not yet cleared, diverse divisions
are still dividing. Genetics uncertain
for an interval, a pause.
In the blood bound sac
a reptilian blastula
breaks through to be human,
a primordial development
reenacted as a

To My Aborted Fetus
I loved you so much
And I wanted you to stay
But I just wasn’t brave enough
To wait to see your face
I let fear get a hold of me
I took the coward way
I knew deep down that it was wrong
But I didn’t turn away
I lay down on the table
I opened up my legs
He pushed his hands inside

Aborted
God blessed both of Adam kind
with fruitfulness of children.
Now counted millions lead in death,
through troubled thoughts for Adam mind,
not counted blessings born to bless,
but snuffed before first blessing’s breath.

Thank You Mama: From the Child Who Was Almost Aborted
I look back at a time
When I was too young to decide
She had the power to choose
If I could make it or not
And I had to oblige
The doctors told her
They had to terminate me
To save her life
She had to think fast
How she would live
With her conscience afterwards?
Knowing she had killed her own child?
She went on

The Aborted Mind
A child, who's not of youth,
And they'd had not being weaned,
A place so big, they'd never seen,
A place for the small, that they'd never had been.

Like An Aborted Fetus
…LIKE AN ABORTED FETUS
We had something so strong that she loosened herself,
And so many oaths binding us like a twine,
I said “You’re more valuable than gold”
She believed my words like the Marxist dogma,
At once epigrammatic and arresting.
It stood like a sacred and indissoluble covenant,
But she watched me walk away during a rainy season,
Because

Aborted Mid-Flight
This trail of tearful words leads to a thought,
follow its source, and you will find my heart.
Love was the destroyer of Camelot,
for Guinevere tore Arthur's heart apart
when she took Lancelot as her sweetheart.
Spontaneous love is often fickle,
it's ubiquitous and yet elusive.
When a laugh gets reduced to a tickle,
superficial feelings turn abusive,
for forced smiles are no

Aborted Child
You said I was a dumbass cause I kept your unborn child
You sexing me like an animal, your going wild
You gave me three hundred dollars and walked away
Like a dumbass, nothing to say
I had a decison to make about whether to keep our unborn child
So much going through my mind, my thoughts going crazy
Never thinking

Twin Aborted Truth
She refuses to bring a child
into this cradle contaminated world
Even herself, she wished
were never brought into it
With stillborn immature regret,
she woulda flatline wrapped the umbilical cord
around herself ...
And let the ultrasound noise
drown her,
with a suicide note fetal writ
Earth offerings of paternal pain
(wars unending,
and violent efforts for material gain)
birthed her aborted truth
This is her Caesarian undeliverable

Aborted Rights Remain Valid Facts To Speak Up
Attempts to cull the human unborn have caused mass controversy
despite the widespread damage this can cause to the population
under stable growth moving forward killing the weaker of our group
Whom are unable to defend themselves
from this violent abuse system ever originating
crushing morals branded as an inferior being
Devaluing it's space of
