An Aborted Child Asks And Pleads

by Nonto   Feb 14, 2006


If you had let me live,
I would have called you mama.
What were you going to call me?

If you had let me be,
I would've been either male or female.
Don't you wish for one of the two?

If you had allowed me to exist,
I would've loved you more than papa did.
I would've been there when papa isn't.
Who's by your side now?

If you had given me a chance to live,
I would've been there to wipe your tears.
Tears papa caused you when he left you.
Who wipes your tears now?

Had you let me live,
I would've provided for you when You can no longer provide for yourself.
Aren't you starving now?

If you had let me exist,
Even if you wouldn't have loved me at first,
You would've grown to love me.
What are you doing with all the love Inside of you now?

Though you couldn't let me live,
I'd still love to be your child.
Can I call you mama?
