I am against abortion so if you are for it don't read this poem?

Question

There are wrongs darker then death or night
wrongs that make you scream in fright.
Darker then night is murder and it's color is black.
For the creature who kills has no soul, this his body must lack
Hatred stares death in the eye
for this many a good soul had to die.
Stealing, lying, cheating are only a few
of the evils that men do.
All of these things are wrong
but we have set aside a place for them to belong.
It's okay to tell a lie
It's okay to steal
It's even okay to kill
For the wrong that's darker then death or night
is the legal killing of an unborn child who didn't even have the chance to say "I don't want to die"

Answer 1

great poem!
I am completely pro life and am inspired!
Keep posting poems about the wrongs of abortion.
Hopefully you will inspire someone who is pro choice to change their stance.

Answer 2

I am anti-abortion. It saddens me to think of a beautiful life ended before it has a chance to begin. As a young man, I was responsible and sensible, practiced safe sex with a condom, and did not get anyone pregnant.

What are you doing to make it possible for poverty-stricken, uneducated women to enable them to raise a child in a healthy, safe environment without a job or spousal support?

Not enough.

That is why I am pro-choice.

Also, this is a very poorly written poem. Trite rhyme, no meter.

An intelligent person reading this poem will be still less inclined to give any credence to your barbaric, uncompassionate, self-important, ignorant position on a complex issue.

Since you probably only read the last line of the answers you receive, I'll just say:

Wow! What a poem. You're keen!

Answer 3

Hi, I'm just talking about the poem now. You have a good lead up all the way through, but your end line pulls you out of the poem and reads like straight prose. I think you need to find a more effective way to say your final line--something that is less static, and much more emotionally stirring. I'm not sure what that is, but the poem needs a more effective payoff.

Answer 4

Most "political poetry" suffers from its writer's lack of subtlety. They want to bonk, bonk, bonk people over the head with their "message" completely forgetting the tools of the trade. Speech-writing, essays, or op-ed pieces are fine for pounding readers over the head relentlessly with a message. If you are going to write poetry, try to remember what makes a poem a poem. This is a merely a political opinion with line breaks and a fairly loose (convenient) rhyme scheme and no structure. I write this without argument to your political position, because I don't care about your political position.

Secondly, you've managed to hit one of my pet peeves: people who never manage the difference between "then" and "than".

Every Abortion Is Just:
One more heart that was stopped.
Two more eyes that will never see.
Two more hands that will never touch.
Two more legs that will never run.
One more mouth that will never speak.
