Of Raping Life (An Ode to Abortion)  A. Stover

I should be 27
but my mom was 27 once
I had seen a month of life
and already,
no one wanted me.
so she paid
mone, the root of all evil
to send me home
back where I came from
red,
this is all I saw
eyes closed
tasting my sweet thumb
when they took my month from me
life raped by scalpel
and stole by a degree
Ph. D.
Supposed to heal...
but kill?
tore my limbs from me
crushing skull,
shedding blood
and embryonic fluid.
my home
my mother, 
a sign of love...
one to love me...
but hate enough
to make me bleed...
but I feel pity
for my bleeding has stopped
yet...
my mother's heart bleeds on
she is 54...
may God have mercy
on her soul.
and bring her to me
for I miss her.

Reason for writing:

    This Past sunday was the 27th Anniversary of legalized abortion...
