SACRIFICE

It's legitimate to kill a wasp

to remove its presence forever

even though its design provides us

with evidence of flight,

something we humans aspire to

with our superior brain -

 

but kill we can

and justify it we may

there is no declension

worthy of a mention

and so it must be

 

that some will sacrifice the children

the stunned and scared

the politically ensnared

and die they will

without wings to fly,

and they do not deserve to die

despite our lofty and good intention.

I wasn't sure how correct this was David, but if you like it i'm more than happy. I thought maybe there was a certain humour in it that perhaps sat wrongly with the gravity. How can that be? Thanks for the compliment. The voice quality really works on this gismo!
