Song: Sonnet to a Son

In the silence of the womb grows a beautiful little boy

Growing well upon his own; the gift he'll bring is the gift of joy

But his mother doesn't want his gift, for she has made a selfish choice 

She lets his body be torn limb from limb without a vote from his unheard voice

How can you say it?

How can you shout it? 

That abortion is right

You preach for freedom

You scream equality

While you snuff out little lives

Have you viewed his silent scream, as he's burned with salt, or suctioned out

It's become a deadly dream, a nightmare scene without a doubt

But women's lib states that it's ok, because a woman has her right

So the silent voice is never heard; he must surrender without a fight

How can you say it? 

How can you shout it?

That abortion is right

You preach for freedom

You scream equality

While you snuff out little lives

God's handiwork, God's design, His creation formed within

To deny this child the right to live; to erase his name is such a sin

For his mother is a vessel prepared for birth back in Eden

Why believe a lie, steal fruit again from God's own tree in His new garden?

How can you say it?

How can you shout it?

That abortion is right

You preach for freedom

You scream equality

While you snuff out little lives
