A Tune and A Tear
by Gloria Poole, R.N.
Simmering Rage
catching up to me,
fueled by,
stone-walling.
Stone-Walling!
Stone-Walling!
Heads stuck in sand,
pretending not to see,
ba-bies
in pieces,
Stone-walling!
Stone-Walling!
How could people
be so blind?
so as not to see
the
agony
of shredded flesh?
Stone-Walling!
Stone-Walling!
A Tune and a Tear,
consumes my thoughts,
until in-fin-i-ty;
Stone-Walling!
Stone-Walling!
A tear is not
enough for me,
the tune reverberates;
Stone-Walling!
Stone-Walling!
People move around,
along the Mall,
walking,
and
talking,
incessant-ly.
Stone-Walling!
Stone-Walling!
They seem to be
alive and free,
but yet they are in
chains.
Stone-Walling!
Stone-Walling!
They call it 'choice'
when what they mean,
is horror,
grim
and vile.
Stone-Walling!
Stone-Walling!
A Tune and a Tear,
rises up in me;
a sadness,
overwhelming.
Stone-Walling!
Stone-Walling!
They shop
and buy,
and eat,
and laugh,
while
blood flows,
down the drain.
Stone-walling!
Stone-Walling!
Their hearts are hard,
their souls are dead,
their eyes
just
cannot see.
Stone-Walling!
Stone-Walling!
The tiny parts
the tiny feet,
hands a half
inch
big.
chopped with cleavers,
smeared on slides.
Stone-Walling!
Stone-Walling!
The tears flow
freely,
down my face,
the agony
of grief,
for unnamed
children of the world.
Stone-walling!
Stone-walling!
The nation's dead,
the future's gone,
poured down the
drain,
as 'choice'.
Stone-Walling!
Stone-walling!
The 'leaders' stall,
and prance about,
making foolish
speeches,
with blinders on.
Stone-Walling!
Stone-walling!
They talk about
$900B,
or is only $8?
their utter
vacancy of minds!
Stone-Walling!
Stone-Walling!
While babies die,
day in and out,
slaughtered,
merciless-ly.
Stone-Walling!
Stone-Walling!
Like Puppets
worked,
with strings,
and mime.
Stone-Walling!
Stone-Walling!
Phony people!
plastic hearts,
no love,
for anyone.
Stone-Walling!
Stone-Walling!
They shop
and buy,
and eat and laugh,
and say,
don't
talk to me,
Stone-Walling!
Stone-Walling!
Don't tell me
'bout the blood
or the pain
of the
ba-by.
Call it 'choice'
then pretend,
the life
wasn't meant
to be.
Stone-Walling!
Stone-Walling!
My tears flow down,
all over me,
til hysteria,
seems
near.
Stone-Walling,
doesn't work
for me;
tsunami grief
engulfs.
Millions of innocents
were killed,
and never
even
named.
Their blood poured
out,
their flesh ripped up,
on
altars of
false gods.
Stone-Walling!
Stone-Walling!
How could this be,
considered 'right",
when it is so
very
wrong?
Stone-Walling!
Stone-Walling!
A tune and tear,
began this song,
to spread
the
agony;
til hearts break,
and vows are made,
to overcome;
the stone-walled hearts,
and open blinded eyes.
There cannot be
such a 'choice'
you see;
evil
must
not win.
Rout the devil;
save the lives,
of tiny human ones;
lock
away
bad people please,
outside the
city gates,
end the scourge,
stop the plagues,
wel-come
human
life.
Have tears of joy,
and tunes of love,
and celebrate
human
life.
Feel the joy
of babies' toothless grins;
see them learn
to
crawl,
and walk,
and hear them
say your name.
And know a mother's love,
as your tiny one,
grasps
your finger,
and recognizes
your face.
Accept the love,
a baby brings,
into your desperate
life,
accept the gift that
GOD gives to you,
when sperm meets egg,
in you;
Don't turn away,
from greatest challenge,
you will ever
know,
to raise a thriving
child,
there is no greater love,
than this;
no greater gift
at all,
than human
embodiment of life.
Spirit in the flesh,
the ultimate gift,
of life;
that
flows with
sperm into the egg,
a man,
and woman's love;
sealed in flesh.
Connecting the past,
and future for you,
for commun-i-ty
and
country too.
Your greatest gift,
you have to give,
is reproducing you.
Seeing your future,
teaching your progeny,
to love
THE LORD,
and enjoy life;
Embrace life;
tear down the wall,
be the shining light.
Say NO to 'choice'
and yes to life;
and NO to misery.
Shed your tears at
grad-ua-tions,
weddings,
laugh,
and live,
and love.
Celebrate.
Embrace in married love.
Choose Life,
give
birth to life.
Reject 'choice';
don't kill.
