The poetry competition is sponsored by the Manhattan Declaration, a coalition which says, “we are especially troubled that in our nation today the lives of the unborn, the disabled, and the elderly are severely threatened.”

….Please Forget me Not
by Sylvia Sullivan
I’m so small, not easily seen or heard,
A baby, with no voice nor choice, so absurd.
Mother Earth has rights, animal rights, even criminal rights,
Yet they say it’s all settled, those Roe v Wade fights.
Baby condors, snails and whales have defenders,
I’m a glob, a pregnancy by-product, what pretenders!
My blood is sought, for many dollars bought,
Who will cry out for me, please forget me not.
Be quiet, don’t bring up the thorny “issue”
Don’t rock the boat for a little bit of tissue.
But I have no voice, no choice, nothing to say,
By their CHOICE, my life is taken away.
Mom, Dad, please let me live life and see days light,
Don’t let the womb be my tomb, I’m worth the fight!
My blood is sought, for many dollars bought,
Who will cry out for me, please forget me not!
