The Lost Babies

The Lost Babies

The figure of two hundred thousand is spinning around in my head,
The number of unborn babies that in just a year will be dead
Within one quite small country, the UK, and that is all –
A huge and awful figure that should everyone here appal.
It’s really a terrible scandal that so many young lives have been lost,
And Britain some time in the future will have to start counting the cost,
For its people are growing much older, with fewer young adults to care
For those who got rid of the babies, the ones who should now be there.
Abortion has taken so many, who looking ahead would have cared
For  their elderly mothers and fathers, if only their lives had been spared,
