Innocence

"I got the news today, Oh boy!!" Beatles, 1960's

Newsflash!!!

A trophy hunter
killed Cecil, the Lion
and now there is
a public outcry...

If killing Cecil was wrong
how much worse
is the killing
of innocent babies,
who committed no crime
but were rejected
and discarded,
by unwanting and uncaring
parents, who are taking
out their mistakes on
innocent babies,  babies
who sometimes are even
sold for parts.

"I love little children, and it
is not a slight thing when they,
who are fresh from God, love us."
Charles Dickens (1812-1870)

innocence-freedom from sin
or moral wrong.
