The Sanctity of Life - v2

I will never trust the vessel,
an embodiment of evil,
the most unchristian man
that I have ever seen;
but I must ask, how can I
love God, and be a Christian,
when the sanctity of life, each life,
is held in the balance, this choice…
 
Every life is worthy, important,
a gift of the divine, the Creator,
at the moment of conception,
a soul pulled from the Guf,
called, commissioned,
created, molded, within
their mother’s womb,
waiting to be born…
 
With each ending, termination
before their beginning comes
a life unborn, cut down,
an unfulfilled calling,
an unmet purpose,
part of God’s plan, lost, cut down,
a choice made, free will,
but was it of God…
 
A hard place to stand, to anchor,
based on my own convictions, the law,
a struggle between God and free will,
a sense that I should not tell another,
the choices they should make,
pain they would suffer, autonomy,
if choice were taken from them
but grieving for the fate of innocent life…
 
Giving immense power, authority,
to one so utterly broken, bereft,
of any moral character, vile,
a fount of lies, of grievances,
so unlike our Savior, Christ,
so unworthy a leader, a liar,
the worst our country can offer,
how is he a protector of innocent life???
