I saw a man today, a man I didn't know,
He was running from another, one dressed all in blue.
He dropped a bag before he ran,
I was so amused,
He didn't look a day under 50,
yet he ran like he was 22.
I smiled to myself and wondered why, two men would do such things.
Then I just smiled and closed my eyes, and tried to let Morpheus bring what he brings.
Yet I saw no such thing, because I have never been born.
I read a book today,
written with such skill.
Inspiring, this was no run-of-the mill.
I read a book today,
something of a dive
I read a book today, and actually wished I were alive.
Chances offered, chances missed
Intimacy offered, cold lips kissed
Yet I was never born, sacrificed on a cold metal table
Never to do the things of which I may have been able.
A life cut short before it really got started
Chances of love and laughter thwarted
Plucked from the warm darkness of the womb
Flushed down the toilet, my personal doom
I wish I had the chance, to live
I would have so much to give
I would
If I could
But I can't
So I won't
Abortion. How much thought do we give to it? What about the lives that never get a chance to even begin, the people who will never have the chance to hear someone sing?
I'm being corny I know, but I believe everyone should have at least one chance, and it seems unfair to take the same away, when that chance is something called life. Who are we to decide when a foetus becomes human, in order to convince ourselves that the act is not murder? Talk about rationalisation -- Usually when I discuss this topic, my stance is that I'm OK with the concept if rape was involved or if the pregnancy is life-threatening. However, when I stop to think about it, I know rape is a traumatic experience and one would probably not want a perpetual reminder of the experience, but is it the potential human being's fault that it happened? With regards to the latter, well that's a bit more difficult to call. How comfortable would you feel about knowing that you are sacrificing another's life to save your own? I don't know ...
Where did this topic pop up from? I have no idea -- I was sitting in front of my computer and my mind was simply -- invaded. I had to get it into words, because to do otherwise would have been aborting the idea, and we couldn't have that could we?
God , this sucks ...
