heartfelt, beautiful poem of a friend of mine reflecting abortion's pain...remembering however that the Resurrection comes after the tomb!
by Jeanette Ibrahim
you invade a woman's
womb
make her womb
a tragic tomb
for her unborn child
to die
and forever tell
a lie
that no one ever
lived
or struggled to
survive
a wretched story
told
and no glory
to enfold
just the death
all the while
of this women
and her child
she cannot turn
back time
for the action
she took
gave her no
alibi
not the baby
will not live
no mother's hope
to give
just the invasion
of her womb
which is now
a woman's tomb.
