MURDER

Hey, there's someone in here!
What about me do you fear?
Is it that you just don't care?
If I were outside, would you dare?

I may be small , but, I'm alive.
Don't do it, please, hear my cry!
I was created by the two of you.
I'm so defenceless, what did I do?

Why kill me, it was your mistake?
Think of the memories we'd make.
I'm full of love and full of cheer.
If not you, others need me near.

Please, put away the knife
Mommy, don't I derserve a life?
How many others have to be killed?
Think of the many hearts that could be filled.

One more time, I beg of you
Let me live my life through
In time you'll realize your mistake
An innocent child's life, you're about to take.
