Hour 16

A lifetime of love

For my child that will never be born,
for my heart that I have never known.
I would give up a lifetime of love for myself,
if that meant for the children of tomorrow
to live life freely.
Without fearing an attack where they should be learning,
without fearing cyberespionage when they should be growing.
I would give up all the luxuries I see myself hunkering,
for a world where bodies are no longer controlled.
Gone with that extrapolar gaze,
no more oppressive laws,
I will with all my joy wave goodbye to wartimes
of hunger, thirst and fighting.
How much would you give up
for your child to grow up
in a world that was really pro-life?
