Misleading priority

Jeremiah 19:5 New English Translation

5 They have built places here for worship of the god Baal so that they could sacrifice their children as burnt offerings to him in the fire. Such sacrifices are something I never commanded them to make. They are something I never told them to do! Indeed, such a thing never even entered my mind.

 

Misleading priority

 

Are the religious people punished and abortion doctors go dense?

Elimination seems on the rampage and has to with you and me?

I don’t want to be the victim, if that makes any sense?

Do I want to be the doctor then and sell out for a good fee?

 

Do you want to be a nurse so you may assist in these procedures?

Don't forget to wear gloves to keep your hands clean somehow

Conscience does not matter if the paycheck is tarred and feathered

You scream you “scream bloody” murder if the amount is flawed

 

Values right make quite a sight in their plight to make everyone the meany

Except for the unborn somehow they seem to be treated like weeds in the grass

We have to destroy them quickly or even late to make the grass look greener

So we call a well-educated exterminator so he may experience a financial blast

 

I have rights the woman screams, it is my body, with great determination

But if it is your body what about the babe’s or it's just a swelling I suppose

You’ve got no clue in what you do and consider only the temporal’s destination

And as through time you realize, that you’re unprepared for an emotional overdose
