come out with me

I feel their silent screams
  echoing through my soul
filling my mind with images
  and a slowly revealed hole
where the laughter of children
  was suppose to exist.
instead I have to feel their pain and
  see them, in suffering, raise their fist...

I hear the silence surrounding
  the outermost of the universe.
abortion is senseless slaughter
  and our silence makes it worse.
where are our morals
  we claim to hold so dear?
how can we approve of murder
  and still appear so sincere?

where are the ones who'll defend
  those who are endangered?
where are those who's vision
  is not so blurred?
they're in the shadows,
  in the darkness
and rather than shout it out,
  they hide in the wilderness...

COME OUT WITH ME!!!!
  defend the defenseless
COME OUT WITH ME!!!!
  together we can have success
at destroying this shame.
  let's save the children
and keep this sin
  from inhabiting us again...
