Inside the safest place
you are tucked away
struggling to grow bigger
getting stronger everyday

God placed you there with love
His plans for you were great
but someone else must play God
and forever change your fate

Right now you are just a fusion
of an egg and a sperm
Your little pin sized body
is no bigger than a worm

You will not die in surgery
that method is obsolete
it only takes a little pill
to stop your growing hands and feet

You will die conveniently
on someone's bathroom floor
your life will end too soon
you deserved so much more...

They say you are not a person
just a clot made up of tissue
But when does a soul begin to live?
Not even a doctor can debate that issue.

So what will become of you now?
will your unwanted soul ever be free?
will you be born to someone else...
or will your death haunt her memory?

God!  powerful and pungent piece of writing here.  The same old moral question, but I believe when something is a life, it already has it's soul and feelings both emotional and physical and to end any life be it unborn baby or puppy or kitten -whatever- is murder.  I will always feel this way.
Nice to see I am not alone again in my reasoning.
Wonderful work hon

And no offense Lisa, but I think there are times when it's not only moral, but the best thing to do. If abortion is used as an alternate to responsible birth control, then I think that's taking it a bit far... but trying telling a pregnant teenager who was just raped that it's evil... I don't know - again, no offense, but there are times...

Beth - I think this is sad and obviously a painful poem. Peace to all the hearts out there who've ever had to contemplate, much less go through this.

Your poems seem to come from real life experience.
