(TO ALL IMPRISONED PRO-LIFE ACTIVISTS)

MY WASH-BOWL, MY BUNK-BED, MY TOILET, AND I,

THIS ELEGANT TRIO, AS TIME PASSES BY

ARE COMPEER COMPANIONS WHO SILENTLY STARS

AS BREAKFAST AND LUNCHTIME AND DINNER WE SHARE:

I CAN'T DO WITHOUT THEM, I NEED THEM, ALL THREE,

BUT THEY'D GET ALONG (BETTER STILL) WITHOUT ME!

FOR `THEY ALSO SERVE WHO JUST STAND AND WAIT'

FOR MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS WHO SHARE MY OWN FATE:

US PRISONERS ALL, IN HIS SERVICE AGREE,

AS WASH-BOWL AND TOILET AND BUNK-BED SERVE ME!

MY WAN, WATCHFUL WALLS, MY CEILING, MY FLOOR,

ALL LIKEWISE COMMUNE BEHIND OUR LOCKED DOOR,

CONTENT AND SERENE, THEY SHALL STOICLY STAY,

'TIL ONE DAY, LIKE ME, THEY SHALL WITHER AWAY,

BACK TO THE DUST OF THE EARTH WHENCE WE CAME

'TIL THE TRUMPET SHALL SOUND, AND HE CALLS US BY NAME!

THUS OFTLY I MUSS AS I SIT HERE ALONE:

THEY ALL SERVE THEIR PURPOSE, BUT WHAT OF MY OWN?

HAVE I SERVED AS WELL AS MY CELL HAS SERVED ME?

--AH NO, TRIO MIO, 'TIS GRAVE MYSTERY:

THOU HAST NEVER SINNED AGAINST HIM WHO MADE THEE,

WHILE ALL OF US `HUMANS' HAVE SINNED GRIEVOUSLY!

THOU ART VOID OF REASON, YET SERVANTS OF LOVE,

HENCE SERVANTS OF LIFE, YOUR CREATOR ABOVE!

WHILE `INTELLIGENT' WOMEN AND MEN ON HIS EARTH,

ARE DENYING HIS CHILDREN THE RIGHT TO THEIR BIRTH!

DEAR GOD OF OUR FATHERS, HOWE'ER COULD THIS BE?

THAT `COURTS' WOULD CONSORT WITH THE POWERS-THAT-BE

IN THE DARK NETHER-WORLD, WITH SUCH DEVILTRY

THAT THEY SAVAGE THE WOMBS OF THY CHILDREN-TO-BE?!

FOR O, MY COMPANIONS, LOCKED IN HERE WITH ME,

THESE `LEAST' OF HIS IMAGE WOULD SERVE HIM LIKE THEE,

E'EN THOUGH VOID OF REASON UNTIL THEY MATURE

TO KNOW GOOD FROM EVIL, FOR AY TO ENDURE

BY MAKING THE `CHOICE' OF SERVING GOD'S WILL,

AS THOU HAST SERVED MINE, MY NEEDS TO FULFILL:

STALWARTLY! TRUE!--AND OBEDIENTLY,

MY LOWLY AND LOYAL AND LORN TRINITY!

MY WASH-BOWL, MY TOILET, MY BUNK-BED,-AND I?

STILL LOYAL TO LIFE AND TO LOVE 'TIL I DIE

BUT TO LIVE IN `THE NURSERIES OF HEAVEN ON HIGH!' 1

1 Francis Thompson: `My song I do but hold for you in trust, I ask you to but blossom from my dust: . . . Pass the crystalline sea, the Lampads seven: Look for me in the nurseries of Heaven!'

(I was born on the day Francis died: November 13, 1907)

Man is the creature of God's Holy Breath: It ill becomes Justice to give birth to Death;

The lawyers 1

and the judges play their game:

1 Luke 11:46/53.

Just how you `phrase' the question, that's the thing!

To block the Truth both sides go laboring to quash the truth in toto, hence defame

The Name of Justice, and in winnowing

The blinging chaff of `legalese' they bring

The sacred oath they take to utter shame!

With Life or Death of Innocents at sake,

The Right to Life is our Creator's Cause!

Where lies the guilt when courts of `Justice' make A mockery of His Immortal Laws?

If not in Truth, then courts of Justice lie,

Whence `nothing but The Truth' they crucify!
Edward J. Allen.

O ye, who spurn thy Maker's Sovereign Will,

To intercourse with Satan's Sinful Seed,

Begetting in thy dark of mind his Creed:

His salivating lust of flesh to fill:

That male and female have the right to kill

The images of God, in word and deed,

The Hinnon Valley's fetid flames to feed

The maw of Moloch: Mod Abortion Mill!

Ah, knowest not whose life thou dost abort?

Fall on thy knees, thy Maker to implore!

It is thine own that you are cutting short!

Confess thy Sins, then rise, and sin no more!

Attempts to save God's littlest one's a crime?

Thou dost give birth to Evil in our time! 1

1 Ezekiel 3:17/23 (The Prophet as Watchman).
