Little Innocents
How do you sleep little child of my heart? Are you afraid of the sounds in the dark? Does your little heart race at your mothers voice? Are you terrified of her need for choice? How do you dream little child all alone? Do you think how youd be if you ever got grown? Do you wish for a kiss or a warm full beast? Do you long for the peace of a safe nights rest? How is your life, little one, do you play? Do you turn? Do you kick? Do you push away? Do you look at your hands . . . your fingers or toes? Have you reached out and touched the tip of your nose? How do you grow, little one, in the womb? Does each new cell bring the dread of your doom? Do you hate each change? Do they bring you fear? Do you wonder why no one seems to hold you dear? How do you fight, little one, for your life? Do your little feet kick hard against the knife? Do you try to hold on when the suctioning starts? Does it hurt when they pull your limbs apart? How do you die, little one, do you cry? Do you wonder why your mom believed the lie? Do you grab at the one who breaks your neck? Do you doubt that anyone gives a heck? How does it feel when youre tossed to the side? Do you hear or see the ones that denied That you were alive in your mothers womb; That they killed you and put you in the tomb? But what do they do with whats left of you? Do they put you away in a box that is new? Do they sing you a song or shed a tear? Or do they laugh a little and go have a beer? Did you know your eyes are worth some money? That your parts are used like bees use honey? Though no one cared enough to let you live They all care to see just how much you can give. For each precious part there is now a price. The ones who killed you think its quite nice. They all line their wallets with your skin And call it just research to your kin. They who took an oath to do no harm Destroy the hope of the unborn. Taking little lives, they call them as naught; Earning a profit from the anguish theyve wrought. And where is mom while this is done? Does she fight for the life of her little one? Is she screaming for help or running to hide? Does she not hear the cries from deep down inside? And dad, whos so strong, why does he not care? Does he not know the torture you endure there? Doesnt grandma or grandpa hear your plea, Will no one . . . no, no one please care for me? But wait, little one, surely there must be laws? To take guiltless life must truly give pause? Some penalty, some cost, some great price paid By those who dare make your little light fade? What justice will judges and rulers give you? Surely they will defend you, as is your due? Or will they also turn their face aside And in their dark hearts the truth hide? Lets go to those who claim to speak for God; Those who say they follow where Jesus trod. They most surely must be screaming out in anger, Warning against the impending danger. Whatever will become of such a nation Where innocents are given no earthly station; Where helplessness is such a horrible curse; And death is meted out to those who nurse? Oh, where have you gone little one of my heart? Little eyes, little fingers, little toes, little heart? Do you look down on this world from Heaven above And wonder . . . yes, wonder, what is this thing we call love?

| Re: | | When you consider the 50 million+ abortions performed in the last few decades, no one should ever be surprised at the thought/talk of the judgement of God coming to our nation. If you look back at Old Testament Israel in the Bible, the blood of the innocent ("they even put their sons and daughters in the fire. A detestable thing which I never commanded them to do, nor did it even enter my mind, & they provoked me to anger against them, says the Lord - 2 Kings 17:17, Deuteronomy 12:31, Jeremiah 7:31 , Jeremiah 32:35, etc.), the Lord allowed it to go on for awhile, gave many sovereign and loving calls to repent, and then, if it continued, the Lord always brought judgement down. And these things that happened to Israel were given as examples to us (1 Corinthians 10:6). And at least they buried the remains in urns they have found in excavating those old city tels in Israel. They have found thousands and the Israelites were then "drug away by hooks in their jaws by the Assyrians, a harsh and brutal people". We just literally throw them in the trash or garbage disposal by the millions! What shall become of our nation? Not saying America Is God's people like Israel was (the church in America obviously is), but what judgement is being stored up for the nation of America as a result of this wickedness? "The Lord is not mocked, for whatsoever a man (or nation - my added) sows, that will he also reap." Galatians 6:7 "Righteousness exalts a nation, but wickedness is a reproach to any people", Proverbs 14:34 |
