Under the stars upon the wind

0 posted 2001-02-20 09:21 PM



My heart beats because of you,
that's why I want to say thank you

I know I'm not considered part of the world yet,
still you remember me

Everything you eat
I get some
You're the reason for which I can breathe

Six more months till you rock me,
the world is big but I have you
so I am lucky

Patience isn't my strong suit
Sorry for all the times I kicked you

Without you I would be dead
for you are the one who keeps me fed

My blook is yours and yours is mine
you'll be my mom for all time

Wait,
What's that light
there's still six months to go
somethings not right

Mother I love you, now help me!
What are they doing to me?

Mom that hurts, fight for me
No more air..
This isn't fair!

I have a life to live
Don't stop it now
Mom I don't understand
What have I done that was so bad?

Sorry that i made you sick,
the pain can't you feel it?

I want to be like you when I am older,
oh no, mom it's getting colder

Don't worry mom I can make it.
But mom can you take it?

I want to cry
I want to scream
Why would anyone want to harm me?

Mom I can no longer see.
What's happening to me?

Sorry mom I couldn't make it
They didn't understand
I love you though even if you can't hear me
I know deep down you can feel me..


If abortion isn't murder, then what is???

Oh, this broke my heart, but, sometimes important issues such as this needs to be put into words to make others see. Well expressed~

Take care,

A good way of showing one of the sides of a very controversial issue. Well done!

Wow, I like this poem and believe it or not you and I, share similar styles....were both different, we constantly write powerful poetry and we both can write form the perspective of something deep like your piece or like my piece where I rhymed from the perspective of a gun....a very good piece....man, maybe you and I should collaborate and join forces.....what cha think....peace!
