History Lessons

Please tell us Sodom of your story;

did you feel a life of glory.

All you earned was God's true wrath.

So show us please the long worn path.

Did you kill your children in the womb;

then throw their bodies in metal tomns (sic).

Did you still their hearts their voice;

their right to live from others' choice.

Did man loving man have more right;

than man loving God, living in light.

Do you see clearly the error of ways;

that caused your destruction, ended your days.

Did you teach your children to kill and to hate;

did the violence you wreeked (sic) seal your fate.

Did you teach your children indifference shown;

to love only those who you call your own.

Please oh please for mankind's sake;

tell us before the hour is late.

There were no rainbows to promise no more;

the signs are upon us, we know what's in store.

What am I doing, praying, and saying that will help to defend the unborn children?
