HIGH SCHOOL RUNNER UP

The Hidden Truth

Benjamin P. Bisconer, Napa, California

Welcome to America,
A land that reaches new heights.
A place for human freedom,
Each with his or her rights.

But let me unveil for you
This beautiful blanket of lies,
Under it you will see the truth, that
In a mother's womb, a baby dies.

This mother had a legal choice,
In this country of freedom she was in,
To have her baby boy murdered,
and thrown in the garbage bin.

You see that in America,
If your home is a womb,
Your parents have a man-given right
To decide your doom.

Obviously this is wrong,
A flaw in America's system.
It's lack of communion with God;
Sin, of which abortion is a symptom.

Americans need God in their lives,
so to them it will be revealed,
that the truth of abortion is death,
the truth that lies have concealed.
