For The Unborn...

but liars can figure
Right is still right

    Kurt, I recommend Lisa Campbell's , poems
    One called"' Hit the Dirt " is a classic !
    It is meant for both of us !

    Right or wrong
    Adam and Eve knew it
    In God's economy
    The antidote is the Holy Spirit !

    Where are the real "poets" today ?
    They seldom comment on Poetry Dot Com
    What's wrong with them
    At least to add some encouragement, no less !

      Try 'Poetry Circle,' you'll get comments, with most of them being weak and self-serving.
