Freedom


Freedom

the most important freedom,

LIFE,

is taken away from the most helpless,

the ones without a voice.

The beauty of a LIFE given

can easily be made

to a LIFE unlivin'.

Such a change

for the ones without a choice.

From the ones with the choice

to ceate or destroy a most beautiful LIFE.

It's against the law to murder.

Yet, every woman is allowed to do so,

to make a LIFE go no further.

A child with feelings and a heart,

with a LIFE so pure,

who has not even had an opportunity to make a difference.

We can make a difference,

Is such a powerful phrase to say

Yet can we really if we don't get a chance to stay

In our world

LIFE can be taken for granted.

But wouldn't you rather have a decision to make that decision,

to live LIFE?

A simple LIFE,

just one,

cannot be so important.

Who knows,

maybe the one who was meant to create world peace

was helplessly aborted.
