I Have A Clipping On My Wall

I Have A Clipping On My Wall

I have a clipping on my wall:

The photo’s of a woman who

Lies in some Chinese hospital

Just having been subjected to

Her forced abortion by the State,

For bearing not one-child but two

(Lest by increasing the birth rate)

To limit her is what they’d do;

Which really doesn’t sit with me,

When people acting on a plan

Would terminate her pregnancy

Because they have a baby-ban.

The reason for this travesty

Of justice is her human soul

Has no right but she has to be

Under a government control.

To search the source and origin

Of such controls what I can find

Is there was somebody, Darwin,

Who masterminded humankind,

And saw no cause to Nature but

“Survival Of The Fittest” that 

He’d take apart a world for what

But for a specimen looked at;

He’d tinker with the human race

As though a great experiment,

Forgetting what one human face

For being kept alive is meant,

But now that One-Child-Family

S’been modified, so as to make:

Two-for-each-couple-just-to-be-

The-way-to-fix-an-old-mistake.
