Faces in Heaven

Faces in Heaven

She saw the face from Heaven
of a child she didn't know
The little girl quietly whispered
"why didn't you let me grow?"

A time to reveal the horrible truth
of a "spark" she'd easily destroyed
But if only she had let her live
there'd be no empty void

From Heaven a second face
of a boy not allowed to be
This "spark" she'd given to science
justification for murder, you see?

But his gentle innocent face
begged only she give some clue
About why she had created him
then made certain he never grew

Other faces haunt her now
those of children she'd given away
So carelessly passed to strangers
in them her tiny "babes" lay

Oh why did you create us
then throw us into the abyss
Without ever considering once
what we'd be destined to miss?

So many unknown faces
all victims of modern science
In this practise hailed as progress
lies a cruelty with dark alliance

All children need to be Loved
despite humanity's selfish needs
Instead the focus is on self alone
and the ego it constantly feeds

No matter its technical term
abortion screams out loud
Let us live to grow and play
without an unholy shroud!

So many faces and haunting tears
destruction by a heartless deed
Yet who will stand accountable
for the fate of the unwanted seed?

Note:

Sadly the spark (embryo) means nothing to scientists
but in God's Love the tiny spark is precious.

"Despite man's intervention and cruel ways the soul
belongs to God. Forever it remains indestructible."
