I used to subscribe
to Life Site News

I even used to donate

When the magazine
Came out

“Faithful Insight”

I subscribed

I liked to scroll through
Take a stroll through
Their website

That’s what I did

Until I read
A certain story

It was gory, this story,
Worse than, in its way, those about Planned Parenthood
I’ll tell you why
Foss had a lie
Buried deep
Deep within it
It stole God’s glory

It said
You mothers
You silly mothers
You homeschooling mothers
Go ahead
Go try to do your job
Go and good luck
But God might not be with you
Maybe not
He’ll turn his head
Leave you crying
On the ground
Leave you dying

In a ball
Curled up and all

Wishing
You were dead

Wishing
You were dead

I wrote to LifeSiteNews
Did
Right to the top
Went

John-Henry Westen
Wrote to him

Said

Hey, don’t defeat those mothers
Those very good mothers
They support you
They swim upstream
Just like you

And furthermore,

That photo
It’s not right
Red tank top
Pouty lips
Who’s that
Anyhow?

Never saw no homeschool mother
Look like that, no
Pout on the mouth
Big doe-dumb eyes
What is that?
Whose disguise?

Said
Please pull the story
Please take it down
Please
sir.

The other day
Magazine arrived
Faithful Insight

Oh.

Changed the photo
Did

As for the lies
No.

That horrid story
Well,
He’s put it on the back
Full colour
Nearly a feature story
News?
Well, not so much.
Life Site “News”?
Well, not so much

Photo?
New one’s worse
The words, the verse,
They’re still there.

He got my letter.
He knew it well.
(Changed the photo.
Kept the tale.)

Let me fight back.
On God’s behalf

Let me fight back.
It’s not true!
God doesn’t abandon,
ever
And especially:
not like that.

Don’t say it.
Don’t dare.

But before I end, I must add,
No longer do I support
The man
who snuck his camera
His very secret camera

Into those meetings
Into those rooms
Into those lunches

That was wrong
Very wrong
He lied
He pretended he was a friend
They let down their guard
And did he flirt?
That’d make it worse.

And I cannot think
What is worse
Than a ‘friend’
To show
To the world
A video of me
From below the chin
Chewing
And Talking
And Laughing
With ease

You run the camera
I think you’re a friend
Then you show the world?
You liar
You sleaze

No matter what I said
No matter what she said
You did wrong
On behalf of all women
Everywhere
Let me shout:

KEEP YOUR VIDEO CAMERA
OFF ME
WHEN I’M EATING

You clout.
What kind of man
Is so unchivalrous
So unprincely
So dishonourable
That he’d do that
To any woman?

I don’t agree with abortion
Of course
Life-long heart-ache for the woman
Life-long damage to her body
Death to her child
Especially girls
Little baby unborn girls

To protest
is fair
To write letters
is fair
To make a fuss
is fair

But let’s keep our heads
We owe each other
Dignity
Privacy
Honesty

No matter what
No excuses
The end still doesn’t justify the means
You know that,
right?
Christianity 101

KEEP YOUR VIDEO CAMERA
OUT OF MY FACE AND
OFF MY BODY

The methods do matter
They matter a lot
It’s not enough to say
“I’m on the right side”

If you film unannounced
You’re on the wrong side
A very bad side

You tell a lie
You’re on the wrong side
A very bad side

Father of lies
Hey, he’s proud of you
and your methods
Mr. Videotaper
Mr. Undercover
Mr. Spy

As for me,
I’m not proud of you
Or what you’ve done

To this movement
The Pro-Life movement
All that effort
All that work

Don’t sympathize
with you
Don’t empathize
with you
Right now

Not yet

Until you get it

Apologize
To them

To the women
You betrayed

On this one,
I stand with the women
Who had lunch with you
And were betrayed by you
To the world.

Shame on you,
horrid spy.

As for LifeSiteNews,
well, Mr. Westen,
you ask me to choose

Magazine on one hand
Mother on the other

I do choose
I decide.

Here I say,
Mr. Weston,
You yourself did betray

A special group
of special mothers

Good-bye LifeSite “News”

May God Take You Down
(If he does choose.)

May God Take You Down

Please forward.
