The bulging belly


 

The bulging belly tells a story Her naked hand is a cause for shame She is scared And alone  Fornicators look at her And laugh Pointing Three fingers point back She thinks her only way out Is to destroy the thing inside Angels and demons struggle in her head Fighting for life She goes to church Pro-life people shun her They whisper: “She is not married” Against all odds she decided to tell her family She is going to see this through She encounters anger What a little whore she is from a family of old values  God seems to not love her She makes an appointment
Tears in her eyes she ascends the stairs Carrying the weight of her cross the doctor will see you

Then behold A miracle A women dressed with the sun Do not harm this child

Take comfort my daughter I have been where you are I have received their teasing

Do not listen to them God himself has touched you the bulging belly tells a story

Her naked hand proves how brave she really is.
