Misleading priority
Jeremiah 19:5 New English Translation
5 They have built places here for worship of the god Baal so that they could sacrifice their children as burnt offerings to him in the fire. Such sacrifices are something I never commanded them to make. They are something I never told them to do! Indeed, such a thing never even entered my mind.
Misleading priority
Are the religious people punished as abortion doctors grow dense?
Elimination seems on the rampage and has to with you and me?
Do I choose to be a future victim, and does that make any sense?
Do I want to be the doctor then and sell out for an excellent fee?
Do you want to be a nurse to assist in these procedures?
Not forgetting to wear gloves to keep the hands clean somehow
Conscience does not matter if the paycheck is tarred and feathered
You scream bloody murder if the amount is slightly flawed
Values right make quite a sight in their plight to make everyone the meany
Except for the unborn, somehow, they seem to be treated like weeds in the grass
We have to destroy them quickly or even late to make the grass look greener
So we call a well-educated exterminator so he may experience a financial blast
I have rights, the woman screams, it is my body, with great determination
If it is your body, what about the baby? It is just swelling, I suppose
You have got no clue in what you do, and consider only the temporal’s destination
And as through time, you realize that you’re unprepared for an emotional overdose
