Babes, babes’
babes, and those of theirs
for decades to come,
All missing in
action, an incredible sum!
Mostly for selfish
reasons, their lives were snuffed out,
Voila! Now
we have the demographic fallout!
Decisions that are
made one child at a time,
Accumulate to shape
a new paradigm.
Rapid declines in
once dominant races,
Now matched by
immigrants from foreign places. *
The U.S. isn’t alone in this societal flip-flop.
So many places
report their own demographic swap.
In developed and
developing nations alike,
Natives-for-immigrants sagas continue to spike.
Problems start when
immigrants don’t assimilate,
Pressures then
mount when they start to repopulate!
Natives bemoan the
shifting cultural tide,
And revolt when
losing jobs for which they vied.
But there is one
key thing natives love to forget,
The one thing on
which I wish each one would reflect:
Long ago, before they
became today’s native,
Their ancestors
came and took first natives …captive!
Across generations,
to all, God extends Grace,
But receiving it,
we then respond …in disgrace.
Grace we received
to become natives in a once new land,
We now
short-circuit as some immigrants, we seek to band!!!
Babes, babes’
babes, and those of theirs
for decades to come,
All missing in action,
an incredible sum!
Perhaps in His
Grace, God only seeks to replace,
The babes and those
of theirs we still sinfully erase.
Say what? You don’t think God’s concerned
with
immigration??
The Bible is all
about people-land connections,
And people who, like
us, sacrificed children, selfishly.
From their lives,
may we draw righteous lessons objectively.
Thank God for immigrants!!!
May we welcome and treat them well
as the potential treasures they represent.

* An old web search indicated, since 1973, the US had reportedly
aborted nearly 60 million children, and had received nearly 60
million immigrants since then. Aborting one child erases countless generations
that child likely would have produced. Only God can count the people who will
never taste this life because of the tens of million children we have aborted. May God help us to come to our unselfish senses. See: Modern
Immigration Wave Brings 59 Million to U.S. Since 1973, and Abortions
by Race and State
As of September 2021, a reported 670,000 Americans have succumbed to Covid-19. Imagine the generational losses from those who departed in the prime of their lives. Imagine the socio-economic losses to our economy!
