Love and life drained
in the agony of despair
a false choice that wants to rip
humanity from your heart
for the world calls you
to give up the fruit of your womb
to offer it as a sacrifice
to appease the gods
that we have built for ourselves.
That is not you! Your heart knows best
because you were made for more
yet you feel that you have no choice
but why such haplessness
before the dawn?
Don’t you know that light shine
its brightest in the depth of night?
