All this flag waving
and baby saving
has got me asking a question:
How can you love an embryo
But not a 3-year-old
That got torn from his mother?
How can a mass of cells
Be more urgent to protect
Than children in massive cells;
Suffering, dying from neglect?
Oh, I know; when the heart beats-
That’s where life begins
But, I’m confused.
Those children sleeping in aluminum sheets;
They have beating hearts too.
No cause can be higher:
We read Psalm 139.
Protect them in the womb!
But they are all God’s knitting.
Don’t we also rescue them from their chain-link tomb
