They Don't



So many can have
what I can't have.
So many can love
what I'll never love.
And yet,
they don't.



Author notes

I intended this to be short to make a statement.  I am unable to have my own biological children.  For that, I am against abortion . . . because it allows those that are able to have children to choose whether or not to have a child.  What is crazy is that most insurance companies will provide coverage for birth control and abortions, but they won't cover infertility treatments.

    Hmm. This is short and to the point. I find it original and meaningful in its simplicity. So I'd say it's a good poem

    So heartbreaking.. I agree so greatly. This was even more sad and heart stopping because of how short you kept it. You are right.. it made it even more thoughtful and touching. I am so sorry about what you have said here.. I would not be able to take it if I could not have kids.. I dont know yet if I have the same misfourtune, but I understan how you feel because I can already feel the pain when I even think about the possibility. It is a crying shame that so many people have this blessing yet they choose to take it for granted.
