The Procedure

The Procedure

by: John B. Juat

Little angels by the playground

Their voices gentle, making a sweet sound

Joyfully playing round and round

They're all alone, not a parent could be found

Warmth of human blood, suddenly grows cold

The unborn is not even given a chance to grow old!

These little ones are helpless but more precious than gold!

Though the procedure is only very brief

Is it really worth all the grief?

Innocent unborn die from 'the procedure'

People who would have had a good future

Victims of grave mistakes, love impure

Those who think pregnancy is a disease to cure

Unborn babies have a powerful voice

Speaking from within “Make me your choice”

Helpless and powerless, they make a silent noise

You'll be disturbed by your child's silent scream

Speaking to you constantly in your dream

Abortion is always a poor decision to make

It's a reality that we cannot fake

Once the life of your child you take

Only when it's too late will you realize you've made a big mistake

Thoughts of a Troubled Mother, and the Unborn's Reply

 Thoughts of a Troubled Mother

By: John B. Juat

This pregnancy is giving me so much stress

I've made a mistake; I've made a huge mess

Since I'm not ready to suffer the consequences

To abort my child is the only option, I guess

It's my body, it's my life, I should be free to choose

People may not agree, but I have my own views

If I take away the life of an unborn, what is there to lose?

I believe that not being ready is a reasonable excuse

It's okay if my own child I decide to kill

Anyway each of us are given free will

At least I'll have one less obligation to fulfill

At least I'll have one less mouth to fill

This has been such a huge burden on me

If i continue this, I will no long be so happy

Sickness, weakening, discomfort brought about my pregnancy

If i continue this, I will no long be free

It will be pointless to let my child live

Because there is absolutely nothing i can possibly give

Dearest mama, I'm sad to see you so troubled because of me

But I hope you will allow me to see the earth's beauty

Please mama, take me home, and let me be a part of your family

Where I will experience abundant joy, love, and harmony

Choose me, mama; allow me to grow in your womb

Nourish me with love; please don't let this be my tomb

You may be scared and worried, I can easily assume

But let me live, mama, in this world there's so much room!

I am precious and beautiful; I am not filthy mud

I am meant to be this perfectly bloomed rose, though I'm still a bud

What don't you understand, mama? I am more than just blood

I am already being formed in the image of our Loving God

Let me live even if there are countless worries, it may seem

Let your love flow to me like a free-flowing stream

I have so much potential in me, I am capable of living my dream

So open your heart, open your ears, mama; listen to my silent scream

Listen to me carefully, mama, please hear my plea

Accept me, love me, and respect my dignity

Ask for guidance, mama, that you will clearly see

I am meant to be with my Creator someday for all eternity

Mama, I hope you understand how much I love you

It's an immeasurable kind of love that i assure you is true

I am a treasure, a gift, a blessing; I will make your life new

Please give me this chance, mama; I hope you love me too

Mama, I do not need power, fame and abundant money

Love me wholeheartedly, mama, it's enough for me

NO TO RH BILL!!

NO TO RH BILL!!

Why is there even a Reproductive Health Bill?

Making available condoms, IUD, and the so called "pill"

It is against justice, against rights, and against free will

Money is what they want; who cares if the unborn they might kill?

What seems to be so wrong with pregnancy?

A pregnant woman is completely normal and healthy

To bring forth life is a result of true charity

The power to procreate is a great gift God has given humanity

This particular bill will degrade a woman's self-worth

Making her believe that it is a disease to give birth

Women were designed for this as to fill the earth

Not to be selfish and invest on what will prevent birth

Respect, respect, respect the human body

It is created by God, and thus we have dignity

If people will understand a person's sanctity

Why then desecrate the temple of utmost beauty?

This destructive bill should have no place in our country

It will only make things worse by destroying the family

By twisting values and taking away the concept of morality

Before we know it, we would have already lost our Filipino identity

This bill is not about protection of women, their rights and health

It's all about lust, greed, selfishness and unjust wealth

IF YOU TRULY LOVE ME, PATIENTLY WAIT

IF YOU TRULY LOVE ME, PATIENTLY WAIT

I can see you love me; I can feel your heart burn

I know that to be with me, you deeply yearn

But don’t rush things, my dear, there’s so much to learn

It’s not an easy and quick step, you have to discern

Time flies way too fast; let’s slow things down a bit

Are you ready to support a family? Are you fit?

Are you sure that right now you are ready to commit?

Because once you make that decision, there’s no such thing as “I quit”

Are you man enough to accept me wholeheartedly?

Are you willing to help bring up the children God will grant me?

IF you are after our future, and not only my body

Then wait for me, my dear, wait for me patiently

Are you already capable of being a father?

If you are not yet ready, then why bother?

First you have to build your character

Before we can live happily ever after

If you truly love me, patiently wait

For our moment to unfold – our perfect date

Trust me, love, it is never too late

That’s because I’m worth it. I’m worth the long wait

If indeed your love for me is sincere

Wait for me patiently and have no fear

It may be difficult; you may have to shed a tear

But endure it for me; it’s worth it, my dear

Even if it may be very difficult to understand

Make your choice firm; Make a stand

Wait some time; I hope you try to understand

When the time comes, I will take your hand

It’s a dreadful process; it’s a bumpy ride

I know just how painful it is deep inside

But endure it for me and I’ll always be by your side

For all eternity as soon as I say “Yes. I’ll be your bride”

It is tough because I want to be sure

That your love for me is true and pure

If all these sacrifices for me, you endure

I believe that together we’ll have a good future

Trust in God that someday, together we will be

Working hand in hand, we will raise our family

If you improve yourself first, you will understand clearly

God will be the one to write our perfect love story
