A~Baby, the Anger

She is so loved, precious and irreplaceable

Her innocence, protection needed desperately the latterable [1]

a single opportunity, there is…Her odds, a million to none

the possibility of harm endless, to a million I could list them

Am I the only one to see?

Her circumstances, urgent and dire have come to be

It has been many years, but my anger...still here.

The Incompetent, the Ignorant, the Irresponsible, the Entitled...

should fear.

Please, I’m begging...

So many before Her have come already,

come to pay the toll plus some

Your light, Your Love

surely this child, this 'against the odds' child

deserves passage, deserves passage from above…
