Little hands, fingernails, unblinking eyes, No songs of sleep and peace. A muffled voice, a deepened frown, They watched your heartbeat as it drowned. Two birds one stone Two lives gone "A Catholic country," she claimed. But what's that worth When thousands flee And never return the same? Eight hundred buried without care, Four thousand more rotting away, No homes to go to, Not a Christian prayer, For the unborn, they are saved.
