Abortion

Abortion A screaming baby yelling “Mommy! Please don’t let me go!” All because it wants to see this world But Mommy happens to have regrets and a mind filled with shame All because nobody knows about little James or Joyce Mommy isn’t ready for mistakes to happen A screaming baby yelling “Mommy! Please don’t give up on me!” All because it wants to see Mommy smile But Mommy happens to head to the clinic All because she’s thinking about abortion Mommy isn’t ready for regrets to happen A screaming baby yelling “Mommy! Please don’t do this to me!” All because it wants to see its first birthday But Mommy happens to grab for the scissors and then panics All because she finally realizes life’s a blessing Mommy isn’t ready to fall down the same path as last time A screaming baby yelling “Mommy! Please make the right choice! All because it wants to know its gender But Mommy happens to suffer from HIV All because she was raped by a unknown man Mommy happens to give life to a healthy James Denzel Roberts But… A screaming baby yelling “Mommy! I thank you!” All because it misses its mommy But Mommy happens to give James up for adoption All because she doesn’t want James to suffer Mommy happens to die 2 weeks later As… A screaming baby yelling “Mommy! You’ll always be in my heart!” By Zyanneh Frazier
