Unwanted Children

Unwanted Children
Collective statement
To abortion anilating prolifers

Climate crisis
Magnitude near ten
On Richter scale.
People, babies, children
Elderly and inbetwizters,
Mother Gaia, tired and taxed
Can no longer
Sustain increasing population
Starvation everywhere
Rampant homelessness
In the riotous streets.

We, the Unwanted Children
Birthed into existence
From the canals
Of ancient seedlings
Propose that,
Since...
You made decision to pass
Judgement, to condemn us
Then...
You be the answer.
Let the selection process
Begin as to where
We will live.

Match decision-makers
With fruits
Of consequences
Of decisionmaking
Made on our behalf
For women
That, personally
You had no clue.

We, the Unwanted Children
Hereby...
Request to live with you.
Simple solution really.

How about that?
You raise us
You love us
You be our parent(s).

Signed,
Unwanted Children
In waiting
For our new home
With you.
