Ireland Is Changing Poem by Mai Murphy Venn

Once we, held our head up high
We value life with respect
From formation to birth
Now we turn our heads away

We stay quiet and let it happen
We are weak, we are giving in.
The bullies are taking over
But the shoe is on the other foot.

Life is a gift, life is a treasure
Abortion is ending a life
That makes it cold murder
By another interpretation

Guilty, as charged, or what?
Look deep into your mind
Think is it right to take a life?
Then be honest with yourself
