Don’t You Dare!

Don’t you dare …

show outrage at injustice

if you do not also rage

as injustice destroys too many

too many of our unborn children

for whom justice is daily lost

while we, entitled, could scarcely care

they lose

just don’t you dare pretend to care

because you don’t care

you don’t care at all

Don’t you dare …

grieve for the lives extinguished

if you do not also weep

as slaughter destroys too many

too many of our unborn children

who by their thousands daily die

while we, alive, could scarcely care

they die

just don’t you dare pretend to care

because you don’t care

you don’t care at all

Don’t you dare …

presume to say that God is love

if your own evades the least

as utter hate destroys too many

too many of our unborn children

who never felt a parent’s love

while we, who should, could scarcely care

they weep

just don’t you dare pretend to care

because you don’t care

you don’t care at all
