Eagerness

go right ahead, they say

I’ll come and be with you

I’ll hold your hand during

and help you celebrate after

you did what you’re doing

pretty encouraging, eh?

ain’t it wonderful to live

with ready help so near?

such help as I cannot give

so far distant I can no more

than weep my endless tears

as they eagerly encourage

murder of a pre-born person

pretty discouraging, eh?

ain’t it terrifying to live

where evil lies so near?
