Okay, I'm not sure where I got the inspiration for this one, but I did so I guess that's that.  It's a rather touchy subject, and I'm not usually one to cover such a contreversial subject, but, I am!  lol  Anyway, you don't have to like it, but please let me know what you think.

"FOREWORD TO DEATH"  
    BY ABORTION

This child was to be the most beautiful thing
That the world was to ever see
So many plans were in store for this life
A cure for aids, a helping hand
Listening ears for a life unable to turn around

But that's all in the past now
That is all left behind
Why was this life created?
It was long before its time
Just one quick ride across the town
As the day became night
A night of fun, just a one night stand
Wouldn't see each other again...
No repercussions of this night gone wrong
That all changed that day she cried
She found out that she holds the future
To a life that is not her own
That never should have happened

Never heard from the lover
Figured he'd left as soon as he heard the news
Who would have thought at just sixteen
She would have to make a decision
On something that she would never even dream

So take that cure for aids
Another helping hand
Ears to listen to a life going down the drain
Thrown on the ground
Like a lit cigar
Stomped on, sent into oblivion
Never to be found
Only left to regret
And not able to be redone

Wayyy too true in so many cases. Way to "communicate effectively" haha. (I'm such a dork!)

But really, flowed well enough (I almost typed 'flowered') and was well contructed, all that technical shtuff.

Bueno job, keep it upp! and I dunno what else to say.

We all have to face down the demons...
Maybe today, you can put the past away.

I thought that this was very touching. I recently found out exactly what the procedure is for having an abortion and I was so upset about it for weeks. It`s a very touchy subject for me and I`m glad you wrote such a wonderful poem expressing it. I`m sure if some people researched it and found out the torture that goes on I believe they would be as shocked as I was. Thank you again for sharing such a great work.

I really liked this poem! I could never write about such a touchy subject, so I wanna give you a hand! LOL. I am anti-abortion, and everything I read in this poem proves my point of why. I really enjoyed reading this piece and hope to see more from you!

Cody, you know I love your stuff.  This poem is really great... it is definitly a subject nobody really acknowledges. I mean look at how much grief Tim McGraw got for his song "Red Ragtop" you did a really good job on this. lol, I'd really like to know where you got the inspiration...
nice job cody, thanks for sharing

Cody~
Hey! I haven't talked to you in a while, been pretty busy, how are you doing? Talk to me sometime! I truley thought this piece exquisite. Simply put it was touching, you did a marvoulus job of creating a picture and showing emotion without being "preachy" about it. I'm glad to see you up and posting again and I'm glad to see such deep and wonderful works coming from you!

Cody, this is not one of the forums I frequent regularly, but your title caught my eye. Very impressive poem and I hope it will help many who are thinking abortion is their only solution.

I wrote this poem and posted it on Monday. You might want to take a look!
