don't ever think that abortion is a sweet feeling 2

the smell of her blood lingers on the doctors fingers
and the wounds of forlon ages have refused to mend
for they have been cast deeper into her soul
by the means that the bible has come with its cross
and books have come in prints of black blood
splattersd,and smeared over the legacy of literacy

though the alliens have set confusion upon brotherhood
let all that are black dwell in the darkness
and not fret if the sun claims all immortality
as the king of modernisation in this token era
where so soon sleep is there upon our lids
and both the sun and stars shall lie in the grave

ever since a continent was formed through the nile
its eyes have been flooding of the abortion aftermath
and the culprits are living scot-free
in the luzury of innocense the bible portrays
aught no man worse than man him-self
over his association with his fellow men

I like this piece as it portrays the evil in the ways of man against man, if only they would reach out and give to others that need instead of taking. Taking even the lives of babies and small children in their greedy quest for something they can never own, how they cannot see I am not sure but maybe the promisory note of money in their hands closes their eyes for ever, Yours Ian.T

ian, the poem is reeally

ian, the poem is reeally about collonialism,the doctors are the white people,while the ones who have been aborted are those of us who were force fully taken abroad to entribe another continent,look at it from this perspective,cause that is what the poem is really talking about,and the abortion is really about slavery

This is as I said a good piece of writing as to the reflection on Colonialism and slavery even the great or so called great nations were all in the slavery theme at one time, the UK got its name from the land of the Angels (Angel land) where the slaves had Pure White skin, and golden hair and of course the Blue eyes, we have changed very little over the years, we carried on the slavery into the 19th century then it was supposed to stop. I am sorry but the evolvement of man carries with it a cruelty that supasses that of any animal. I have seen 4 year old children throwing stones at soldiers and the list is endless, I spent a lot of time in South Africa, so am aware of many things of man being cruel to man, and to watch a man beating a woman and not being able to stop it, or interfeer, was so very hard on my ways. Another thing about destroying a life that has only just started its journey in this world is beyond me, later when I return home as I call it, and they ask me about these things, what do I say, if it is your God, do you say I am sorry for all the others that walk the earth. You keep on with your poetry it will grow as your journey brings more of lifes things to you, these things will pass your eyes each day and they will be judged by you and acted on, sometimes the best way is to step back a little and think if it were I what would my judgement be,Yours Ian.T
