No Chance
Its quiet I’ve just heard
Its a vision I never saw
Of a future that has occurred
I know a past that has not arisen
And its life that’ll never be lived
A perfect soul totally misgiven
My chance, my shot not taken
Lived life without a breath
All because I was miss-taken
This poem was inspired by an article I read where an author made the case of being pro-life, yet also made a case for being anti-abortion. A thoughtful nuanced article for sure. However it left me thinking that for the heart and life stopped its not very nuanced, it is the life miss-taken and a perfect soul wasted…
Great poem, the symbolism is deep.
