You Can Not Have It Both Ways Poem by Albert Ahearn

The practice of professing beliefs that one does not hold or possess.

Pro-lifers are a band of hypocrites.
Profess that fetuses and embryos
Are human beings. Their beliefs conflict
However, when put to the test, you know?
They say that they’re human and therefore have
A right to live. But they must not forget
If what they say is factual, this jazz
Has to stand up to scrutiny. I’ll bet
The farm their arguments fail withal.
Why? They're pro-choice! I cite one example:
A teen is raped; the parents are appalled.
They want no part of this potential soul.
Thus we have what is termed “non-keeper”
Guess what life, my friends, meets old Grim Reaper?
