THE S.O.S. FROM AN EMBRYO


I’d like to show you, Mom and Dad!
That I’m a human being with brain, heart and limbs.
Don’t think that I know nothing,
I just can’t speak!

Give me my birth due to my demand
And due to the conscience of humanity.
Let me be a human!
that’s what I hope for long time.
If you kill me you commit a brutal assassination!

Since I am the crystal of endless Love,
beauty and generosity,
Between both of you, Mom and Dad!
That you promised to love me when I’m in this world.

Why are you hating me who is your very blood
and your rare Love?
Let me be a human being though I’m not welcomed by you
Drop me in an orphanage and I will survive by the charity of some organizations or individuals.

I would have a miserable life but it pleases me simply because
I don’t want to die.
On the contrary I want so badly to live my life!
These words are very seriously and earnestly spoken
that come from my very lovely heart,
Don’t get angry, I beg you!
Don’t be embarrassed, either!
Let me survive eventhough you don’t want to see me!

I bow you a hundred thousand times more for not killing me!
The day I salute this beautiful world is the day full of happiness.
Try to survive me! I’m praying the Creator for your courage,
I promise not to bring you humiliation, no matter what!
Love me, Dad!
Don’t kill me, have pity on me, Mom!
Please, please, please!
