Birth Pangs

What have we wrought?? The fat is in the fire. The banshees are mewing like cats. The milk has turned to acid......and we are motherless. Did you ever think that the cry of a baby being born is the cry of a creature in distress? The world was wonderful inside the womb. The baby has optimum sensibilities at that time in its life. It KNOWS BEFORE IT IS BORN, that beyond the womb is nothing but tragic betrayal and violence. We all knew everything then. After that, we unlearn the wisdom of eternity. So, we are at our most sensient at the point of crossing from the enclosed soft, safe world inside the womb, to the brutal world of hard edges and deceitful reassurance. You can be dropped at any moment- but inside the womb- YOU CAN BE ABORTED!! You are unnecessary- obsolete. Think we oughta know that- ,just for the record!!!!!!!!
