The Fetus as Other

You can't take my place, you know.

Other paths to the fetus, abortion and crime.

Some men will love you
And that is good
For love is good.

But I must be with the Mother,
For I will bring
Forgiveness and caring
And the double voice of dialogue

In which the Other,
Men and Women,
Will learn to see both you
AND the Mother
AND her SON.

Some men will not hear;
Will not listen
Will confuse lust with love
and think violence natural

Violence is not natural
It defies the nature of Man
of Woman
Which is why I must come,
And you cannot take my place.
