Will We Not Speak?

A poem inspired by:

Isaiah 5:20

20 Woe to those who call evil good

and good evil,

who put darkness for light

and light for darkness,

who put bitter for sweet

and sweet for bitter!

******

Woe to those who call abortion good

and a pro-life evil,

Who put brokenness as wholeness

and destruction as "choice",

Who put life to death

and call death, "your life."

What misery we invite when we trade God's Ways

for man's wisdom

Turning away from the cries of the helpless

so that we may call our deafness, "Progress."

Searing our conscious

until nothing of horror brings us pain

and we see those little hands

as something disposable.

Woe to the nation that does not cry out,

"We have shed innocent blood!

Have mercy on us!"

Instead, we flaunt our right to choose

and hide from the truth that our heart screams -

"This is a child's life."

Stand up, people of the LORD

for those whose blood cries out.

Stand up and bear witness,

Weep, for the LORD is near at hand saying,

"I will hear your cry and come to your aide.

I will not be silent, nor will I turn a blind eye.

For I created your inmost being, 

I knit you together in your mother's womb.

I call this nation to repentance - hear me, my Beloved."

His healing comes little Christian

will you be His mouth-piece?

This is the truth of abortion - this is the horror of abortion - but thank God for His Healing, and His truth, and His forgiveness through it all.
