Independence Day > May God Bless America
Dear Friends;
In Philadelphia on July 4, 1775, representatives from 13 British colonies in North America adopted a statement setting forth the reasons for declaring their independence from Great Britain. The draft of the document was largely the work of Thomas Jefferson. The Declaration of Independence proclaims the God gives every person a birthright of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiiness. The original document is stored in the National Archives Building in Washington, D.C.

M U R D E R I N G  B A B Y
Within my Mother’s womb I grow,
Not knowing what life will bestow
A genetic code all my own,
God used to make me flesh and bone.

A little man I am I know,
Yet give me time and I will grow,
Just think of what the world would be,
Without a joyful world like me.

I need love and protection too,
And my protector needs to be you.
If you turn a deaf ear to me,
What I most fear may come to be.

Why does not someone take a stand?
And save me from my killers hand.
I’m murdered by the surgeon’s knife,
As though I have no right to life.

My body is torn limb from limb,
Yielding to Mother’s whim.
My screams are muffled as I die,
Dr. and Mommy ignore my painful cry.

Aborted (no, murdered) by my Mother’s plan,
I’m cast into a garbage can.
“AVENGE MY BLOOD, OH GOD” I pray!
Repay my foes on judgment day.

And God will.  The voice of “Babies” blood
cries unto me from the ground” Gen.4:10
