Every day babies are born and tossed away as so much offal, while women mourn empty wombs. Every state should have a creshe law... One faint, kitten-like mewling and there is breath for no more, as the tiny baby sinks slowly, becoming part of the garbage and gore. Its grave will be a dumpster or a landfill far from sight. No mother rocks this little one through its death in a lonely night. Not flesh enough to have a name, carelessly and coldly tossed away. Its only cradle - a wad of filth. This babe will not see light of day. Sinking slowly out of sight, this unwanted and unloved flesh, condemned to a fading forever in this forgotten and foresaken creshe. Disposable angels, born in toilets, and alleyways, babes of the silent cry, brought into life just for a moment before they are sentenced then to die. "A woman is like a tea bag, you never know how strong she is until she gets in hot water..." Eleanor Rooevelt |

What can I say that has not already been said? Nothing. You have brought to the forefront of our minds a tragedy that is happening at this moment. |

Wow this is so true & that sickens me--an innocent baby tossed away like a lifeless doll--My boyfriend just saw on the news about a college girl having a baby & threw it in the garbage dump, it was still born, but still noone knew she was pregnant& she didnt want it either way--People amaze me, scare me, sicken me--Great way of portraying this--LOVE ELMO <3 Elmo Luvs You-Hee Hee! |

Ladypoet, once again "we the humans" show what we really are! Thank God, most people are caring and giving. I will never know how a "birth mother" can act like this. My heart goes out to the little no-names and am sure He will have a special place for them. Wonderfully written. ME |
