WHO WAS I?


Tha-thump..tha-thump..tha-thump

I was alive, yet you abandoned me

I was remembered, yet you try to forget me

I was created, yet you destroyed me 

WHO WAS I?

Tha-thump..tha-thump..tha-thump

My country has legalized my extermination

Coldly eliminating my existence

Creating more and more elimination

WHO WAS I?

Tha-thump..tha-thump..tha-thump

My heart once had a beat like yours mom,

yet I was thrown out like day old trash

I once had a soul like you mom,

yet you denied me that fact

WHO WAS I?

Tha-thump..that-thump..tha-thump

I now am guilt, I now am shame

I now am a shadow in your past

WHO WAS I?

...

I was a simple heart beat

I was a life

I was purpose

WHO WAS I?

I was aborted.
