our lives on death row
Kinship aborted
— the world soon to blow

Hind Sight

A Texan with whom Trump cavorted
Never once laughed, she only snorted
As mad as he can be
Trump cursed the GOP
"Why wasn't that woman aborted?"

They aborted love,
Defertilizing justice:
Birthing injustice:-
Oppression pregnant again:
Democracy miscarried:-

Untitled #350 / My Love Is a Miscarried Child

My love is a miscarried child,
a faceless evil aborted
before its heart could start beating,
before its eyes could grow in.
Of course I would hide it away!

Premium Member Imagination Unborn

If there was no poetry
Where all the muses would have gone
Aborted in the harsh depth of eternity
Imagination would have remained unborn.

Premium Member Outrage

Have you ever been convicted of a felony?
   Have you ever aborted a baby? ...

 Outraged by the second question's premise
   ~ we shed no tears for the baby's demise

Premium Member Joey In Wonderland

A Joey was spotted in wonderland
shaking hands with the invisible man
while "knees" just cackled and snorted
as the border was aborted
the Easter bunny took total command

Premium Member Echoes

Moments shared.

Flawed by design.

Now just memories.

Scattered across time.

Fleeting recalls.

Renewed disdain.

Karma aborted love.

For our past due pain.

Danger and Darkness Courted

Danger and Darkness Courted

Much danger and darkness courted;
What I could do is have it thwarted;
Never love;
Get rid of,
Or transported away and be aborted.

You Are Not Here To Joke

if you live for yourself
go back to your mother’s womb
if you live for nothing
apply to be aborted
if you live for others
planet earth is your empire
you are not here to joke

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. 2019 September 17

near her deathbed: glazed eyes seek
an aborted child

Postmodern Girl Can Scream Out

postmodern world
they have rights
freedom is liberal choice

now a girl can scream out,
"Give me freedom, I won't be an aborted girl; I won't be a killer! "

Lost Moments

How do you start over
 consumed by the end
Beginnings aborted 
as judgment portends
Desperately hiding 
alone and distraught 
For all of those presents
 time wasted — and lost

Premium Member Pleas Unheeded

The cry of the dead
  the wail of those gone
unheeded by the uncaring living
  who dully carry on

Are their pleas any different
  from the screams of those unborn
aborted by the uncaring living
  who dully carry on

Revelation

The older I get,
  the more distant they seem

The past and the future,
  reality’s dream

The older I get,
  the deeper it feels

Distraction aborted
  —the moment revealed

(Villanova Pennsylvania: June, 2016)

Distance Revealed

The older I get
  the closer it seems

The past from the future
  what’s real, to my dreams

The older I get
  the deeper it feels

Distraction aborted
  —all distance revealed

with each passing train 
the house trembles 
aborted dreams

strangers in the night
the creaking floorboards
she cheats on him

wafts of warm
spiced paratha bread
her aroma lingers

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.

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.

A Conflict Within

Low and lonely, but not to succumb
Through warring thoughts a pitfall deep
Ireful, rueful, contort
This speaker’s blunder deemed

Subdued with met solution
Devil’s plot decayed
Ruinous intent aborted 
Blithe courage keenly resumed

She Is a Spinster Seventy Years

She is a spinster
Seventy years of age
and still going strong.

When asked why 
she never married,
She whispered an answer:
“Somewhere in the land
I will never know
my husband was aborted
at the very hour and minute
I was born.”

distance, distant
trinket, shrinking

figment, thinking
spirit,  stigma

instant, vision
wilting, listen


bidden, dripping
infant, sickness
 
pregnant, stringent
silent, client

The ravages of war take their toll
Soldiers left out stranded on the field
Letters to loved ones half written
Much to read between the lines
Love affairs never to be resumed
Dreams aborted at the cost of peace
