How Many?

by Judy Alciatore

HOW MANY IS THE NUMBER

HOW MANY DID WE KILL

HOW MANY DID WE SLAUGHTER

AGAINST THY HOLY WILL

TOO MANY IS THE NUMBER

TOO MANY HAVE WE KILLED

TOO MANY HAVE WE SLAUGHTERED

HOW MANY MORE WILL STILL

BE MURDERED IN THE WOMB

BE BUTCHERED BY THE KNIFE

BE TOSSED AWAY LIKE GARBAGE

AND DEPRIVED OF ANY LIFE

WHEN WILL WE SEE THE HORROR

THAT'S CLEAR BEFORE OUR EYES

WHEN WILL WE HEAR THE ECHOES

OF THEIR SILENT, HELPLESS CRIES

OH, LORD, CANST THOU FORGIVE US

AS WE BOW OUR HEADS IN SHAME

OH, LORD, HOW CAN WE JUSTIFY

FOR WE ARE FILLED WITH BLAME

HOW MANY IS THE NUMBER

HOW MANY MORE TO COME

HOW MANY WILL BE SACRIFICED

BEFORE THIS DAY IS DONE

THANK YOU, LORD
