Analysis of The Murder Of A Child
The title of this poem
Is pregnant with
Confirmation of the
Existence of ‘evil’.
Since the beginning of
Creation because of a
Creature’s opposition
To our Creator.
The latter opposition
Opened the gates of hell
For generation after
Generation of our species.
Yes, we all have experienced
Evil via sin which history
Confirms is the enemy
Of our species.
Whose activity in this century
Is the mass daily murder
Of children within their
Mothers wombs.
Come! let us imagine
The reality of a child
Conceived by a mother-
A fellow human being!
An innocent child whose
Memory will not survive
And lack the love of their
God created mother.
What joy he who opposed
Christ must experience when
A mother or a father agree
With the murder of their child.
Oh, yes, outside mental institutions
There are men and women who
Should be within the latter as should
Be politicians whom the baby killers support.
