‘Word of Faith’ ladies come marching down the Mississippi streets
Singing gospel tunes and waving large placards of babies born
Beautiful; beautiful babies of all colors and conditions;
Boys and girls, healthy and sick; big bold words defending a right to life.
Singing gospel tunes and waving large placards of babies born
In places where the plain meaning of our constitution puts
Boys and girls, healthy and sick - big bold words defending a right to life -
In the preferred place with inalienable rights.
In places where the plain meaning of our constitution puts
The least among us, the most vulnerable among us,
In the preferred place with inalienable rights:
So help us God, get out of the way, we’re going to court!
The least among us, the most vulnerable among us,
‘Word of Faith’ ladies come marching down the Mississippi streets,
So help us God, get out of the way, we’re going to court!
Beautiful, beautiful babies of all colors and conditions
Singing gospel tunes and waving large placards of babies born.
Gary Edward Geraci
Written in the form of poetry known as Pantoum. Inspired by the article “Biggest Case on Abortion in 30 Years: SCOTUS Takes Up Mississippi Law, Pro-Lifers Hopeful”. (National Catholic Register) In the last line of the 4th stanza, it is envisioned the ‘beautiful babies,’ now grown, carry the mantle forward and in the final line of the poem become the next generation of defenders of life ‘waving large placards of babies born.’
