    Millions of lives...

    A woman she cries all alone in the night.
    Her lover's long gone,
    noone to hold her tight.
    And her baby...
    Her baby's gone.
    If she'd only waited just another day,
    Now she knows she'd have found a way,
    To find a home
    with love
    For her baby.
    But her lover said it was the only way,
    He wouldn't be tied down,
    Not for a single day
    And it'd be better this way.
    He didn't want a baby.

    Oh dear lord just look what we have done,
    We've taken millions of lives in the name of freedom.
    Where are the babies?

    On the other side of town in the night.
    A man holds his wife and tells her it's alright,
    But still she cries.
    "I'll never have a baby"
    "We have a home full of love and a place to play...
    A little room all bright and gay
    If we could only have a child...
    Our very own baby"

    Oh dear lord just look what we have done.
    We've taken millions of lives in the name of freedom.
    Where are the babies?

    I read all the comments on this poem we all seem to have the same opinion while the government continues to supply the propoganda to our teens that killing a baby is the thing to do....how brutal...the shedding of innocent blood GOD will not stand for this very long...America had better wake up...Americans had better wake up...a very good write and subject matter thanks...Qualin

    That is a lot of "real love", flowing from this poem. The emotion and sincerity, is, honest. Thanks for sharing.

    Parallel universe. I like how you put that together

    Poetry comes nearer to vital truth than history.
