Picket

Picket

Pick it

Pick the scab

It was 

Not nearly healed

Not healed at all, actually

She is

Already hurting

Already confused

Yet you

Picket

Pick it

Representing a God
Who forgives

Yet you condemn

Technically

We share
The same views

On life

And abortion

And loving babies

But I’m not sure I agree

With how you
Approach it

You picked it

She’s bleeding

Deep down inside

There is

A Healer

Who loves

Forgives

Mends

Redeems

She has enough pain

Enough confusion

All of her own

And He shouldn’t have to heal

The hurt that you cause

In addition

You can sit there

And pray

If you want

You can even speak truth

If you speak it in love

For both mommy and baby

But picket?

Quit it
