Start up top.
You may have
these piercing blue eyes.
Carefully carve them
from the sockets.
My nose?
It is all yours.
Pinch it off into your palm.
The lips that belong to me,
Take them off gently.
And move to my voice box,
It may contain some
Notes of importance.
Down to my rib cage,
Please use the bones sparingly.
But, below my stomach
Behind my intestines
Secured behind the
Thick walls of my womb
Sleeps an innocent life.
A life that you may not
Claim for your own.
So travel further.
You may take my legs.
One or two,
Gracefully saw the
Appendages from
My boney hips
Though they are quite short..
They end with  small feet
That you may
Also use for someone else.
If you do so choose.
Carry on with the
atrocious mutiliation.
Take anything else
you desire
But leave that tiny gift.
It is not a life to claim
Take my entire body
Before you wreck a life
Who has not chosen
To acquire such fame

Extremely impressive, horror visions to demonstrate how much you value the precious gift of life that pulses within your womb. I think you succeeded in your intent.

May we respect new life when it is offered to us! Against all the fear-based negative reactions. And may the babies grow in beauty and bloom.

Tough job.

Love,
Margherita
