Watching in despair another one entering those doors of death
Knowing the evils being committed behind those looming walls
Not hearing or seeing for myself, but my imagination was enough.

With each individual exiting those interlocked bricks
I prayed for the future of that unsuspecting woman
And for the innocent child who's life had been brutally torn from the world

A single tear slid down my cold cheek, I did not let more escape
I stood in the face of murderers, and yet what could I do?
Confirmed as a crime in any other circumstance, and yet where were the officers?

Where was justice for the ones who had no voice?
Presumed to be nonliving, unfeeling, but those being tormented knew their pain.
I could only pray as I stood that someone inside would be given a new understanding

To knowingly squash the life of a child so pure, a mere baby
It was like stepping intentionally on the most beautiful of flowers
And what joy did it offer them? I did not see or understand

The morals of our country seemed to fade before my eyes
Our foundation was built upon all that opposed these actions
Where was our nation headed?

I lay down a crimson red rose upon the walk
To give remembrance to the lives lost within
It's colour only matched the blood shed from their sin

I kissed the peachy soft head of my baby sister
And glanced over at my mother who could have had the same fate
It was all so wrong and yet it was endorsed

I looked to the sky in a moment of triumph
Knowing these sweet children were squirming in the lap of our Lord
But He frowned at the reasons they had arrived so early
