To Beget Birth…
To beget birth…
remains man’s neuronal quandary,
the mortal battle with the will of cells
knowing only visionless duty to reproduction.
How vacuous the realm of reason has become.
Where once a species’ knowledge took center stage,
such now slumps in beleaguered shadow,
peering from the wings of relegation,
concerned that re-entrance may never be cued.
Global birth soars unabated,
becoming future’s audience
applauding the world’s dis-ease
as barbarism’s necessary reality.
Such has developed the rationale of deniers,
blind to the seduction of unconscious slavery
where long abandoned synaptic health
drags shackled reasoning into decision’s arena,
awaiting battlement’s continued blood lust,
knowing further defeat rewards history’s next round
of unenlightened self-adulation.
Yes…
Perhaps the notion to beget birth
deserves further thought.
Your last stanza is very appropriate. All of us, especially those who believe strongly in the right to life, need to think deeply about the consequences of their actions.
