thief! thief!
cried the unborn
brother.
you’re stealing the
polar bears so
my children will
never see
them.
thief! thief!
cried the unborn
sister.
you’re stealing the
blue from my
skies & the white
from my snow.
what was pure
you have wrenched
from my
heart.
thief! thief!
cried the unborn
families of the unborn.
you’re stealing our
light & our heat
& our hope & our
future.
you have damned us
to sleepless
war.
but for
george w. bush
& co.,
the arctic
is only another
virgin.
