Not Me Poem by Masika Wafula

Not Me



My hands?
No! Not my hands
To bring forth life
My hands were formed

An accomplice in death?
My hands were formed not

No! Not my hands
They bring forth life
Make mothers of babies
Crying babies

Still babies?
My hands make not.

Let it not be a debate on when life begins, am convinced the unborn have a soul. Beware not to be an accomplice in murder.
