Not Tall Enough

I stood waiting in line
For an amazing ride
It was huge, magnificent
It was called Life

But several kids I saw
Were pulled out of line
"Not tall enough." people said
But to me they looked fine

So I asked the conductor
As the children cried and cried
And he said, "they are tall enough
But we still won't let them ride."

So I rode Life sadly
For I could see their ride, Abortion's track
And though those sweet kids got on
They never did come back
Cry

Author notes

This poem was a metaphor about life and abortion. Whether or not you are pro choice or pro life, I hop it made you think.

    Welcome to AllPoetry!

    This is a really good poem - I like the way that it really hits the reader in the heart with the message that it has, you have expressed your standpoint very well here I think from a constructive criticism point you might like to look at not capitalising every first letter of the lines, when it isn't the start of a new sentence it can disrupt the flow a little - but that is just my opinion and I enjoyed this poem!

    Welcome to the site, I hope that you enjoy your time here at AllPoetry!

    welcome to allpoetry

    quite a compelling poem you have here, unfortunately it will probably fall on the deaf ears that need it most. gutsy write, i love it.

    Damn.



    What a write. "not tall enough" is a hell of a way to describe the kids - it's almost like a slap in the face to all who try and say they aren't affected by such an act

    Powerfully penned!

    Keep writing!
