Array ( [sid] => 30427 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Abortion [time] => 2003-12-30 14:26:03 [hometext] => Both for and against abortion. [bodytext] => Amid thick tears that dash her face
Trace a line of hope
The depths of which her fears have shown
Denying her the scope

Of things that were not her fault
Sought out by those humble
There was a rock called "mistake"
That caused her life to stumble

On weak knees that barely hold
Against the steady roar
As those that have never sinned
Take this frail girl for

A woman despite her obvious age
She played an adult's game
She prays for an end that never comes
Then tries to place the blame

On the single perpetrator of this crime
Though it takes two to tango
And though she leads a new life of shame
There's nowhere else she can go

But to those humble to seek ammends
She seeks those with a dollar sign
And the one that claims to understand
Takes fifty percent to the dime

But now this lady has the status
That comes in six round figures
And all it cost was a child's life
He never placed his signiture

On the contract of life and death
This child never saw day
But then again there was no child
Or so the doctors say [comments] => 2 [counter] => 531 [topic] => 43 [informant] => darien [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 16 [ratings] => 5 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => oops )

wow i really like this. i have been through this myself when i was 18 so it stirred many emotions inside. i like the part about "She played an adult's game" and the ending was great.

While every care is taken to ensure the general sites content is family safe, our moderators cannot be in all places; all the time. Please report poetry and or comments that are in breach of our site rules HERE (Please include poem title or url). Parents also please ensure that you supervise your children well when they are on the internet; regardless of what a site says about being, or being considered, child-safe.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
