Is this the future

a poem i wrote in 2010

The latest trends of 2010
Is flushing new borns
down dirty drains
Say "to my son with love your mother"
And shove them into rivers
In their sleep to sleep forever
Mother's who filled their hands
With this sin
Why did you bore them into this world
If they are not allowed to breath
But don't say you were helpless
And wipe your crime on their face
And how do you yourself sleep?
With the help of a pill?

It happen in all places. In the USA we have places where woman can take babies they do not want. Still they put them in trashcans and leave them to died in parks. I don't understand it. Always someone that will give love to a child. People who murder their babies will pay i believe for their deeds. A powerful and sad poem. Thank you for sharing the outstanding poetry.

I despise women like that! There are many women who would love to have children and those "women" are just throwing their kids away. Nicely written.

It's rather shocking how some people still commit such a crime. Life is precious, the child deserves love. Thank you for bringing awareness to such shameful atrocities.

Such a sad situation it is... and the excuses they give are unforgivable.
