A Precious Thing
Kevin M. Nelson, November 29, 2012
They search in the oceans, and probe planet Mars
Concoct diet potions, design hybrid cars
Seeking this “thing”, or to make this “thing” last
This “Unalienable Right”, or so was in the past
Now lust reigns supreme, no more husband and wife
This “thing” now created, they reach for a knife
They chant “what now then- if this “thing” from a crime?”
Thinking justice to end it, though this “thing” so sublime
But for most who destroy it: “ a mere end to an issue”
Lest they acknowledge this “thing” so much more than “tissue”
But what of control of her personal “power”?
Their freedom to snuff out this “thing” twice per hour?
Money and dreams be cold justification-
For ending this “thing” throughout our whole nation
Though conceived of two humans, and plain basic science-
They deny this “thing” is there, with lies and with silence
Despite knowledge and sense, once common to most-
Some still label this “thing”- “just some cells with a host”
But God will judge all in our failures to act-
This “thing” gone. Bodies broken. Limbs no longer intact.
Then cursed be the ones who care more for the whales,
And this “thing”- not of humans- but of creatures with tails.
This great “thing” is a LIFE, and it’s end be a Death
And when that of a Human, I’ll proclaim with last breath
“We must stop killing children! No more calling it Choice!”
Their death no more righteous for lack of a voice
Their blood no less innocent, when shed by election
Their “thing” no less real before heartbeat detection
Their value no less high when a tough circumstance
Their futures no less bright if just given a chance
Their worth not diminished if troubles now loom
So much promises await outside of the womb
Dispel all the slanderous myths and the lies
They are no less human if you can’t hear their cries!
They are no less human if killed in blind haste!
(Now sentenced to die and be medical waste)
They’re no less a baby because liberals approve-
Or just because you can not yet feel them move
And if these sad truths bring one guilt upon shame
They need only repent, and pray in His name-
That Jesus forgive and cleanse murderous past,
And thus bring new life- for eternity last.
Now take all these things that you know to be true,
And share them with many, else we save but a few
Expect fierce resistance and some comments of strife
For Satan deceives to bring end to each Life
Now go, don’t delay, there isn’t much time
A wretched court opinion makes it no less a crime
Be bold, but in love, as we clean up this mess
Giving glory to God with each life-saved success.
