Cry of the unborn.

Cry of the unborn.

I speak to you mama,
Spare me all the drama,
The time for choice is past,
Consequences of now will last,

I am a life and alive,
So even when papa connives,
Give me a shot to live,
Grant me no premature leave,

I want the chance you had,
The choice might be very hard,
I have a right to be born,
Don't allow me be torn,

I might be inside of you,
But I do not belong to you,
I have a life of my own,
God gives you custody as a loan,

You can't do with me as you will,
Abortion is akin to kill,
Death panel by another name,
Even if I am handicap and maimed,

I might hold the key to a better future,
Have ability to rewrite the present culture,
Don't kill me,
We belong together.
