Lament


In secret she hid her shame 
She placed her confidence in a lie 
The very instrument she thought would set her free 
Will cause her to die 

Her body racked with pain 
Her plea you would deny 

On deaf ears her scream would fall 
All along the danger raged 
Within her body 

As she collapses with faint breath 
She begs God to forgive her 
And He does 

In the hospital the war is waged 
As the infection claims feet 
Hands and legs, skin becomes black as sin 
For wisdom the doctors 
Look to within as she wastes away 

A few hours later her race would be finished 
But all is lost as the deadly infection wins 
Her children mourn the loss of a mother they will never know 
Her husband mourns the loss of his wife and the child he never knew 
All in the name of choice and legal immorality
