Excellent 2nd Place Finish In My Mind by Douglas Goff Free Verse writing prompt entry

I believe in a supreme almighty God yet I also have faith in the spirit of humanity in my mind confusion reigns supreme   I believe in the sanctity of life yet I believe in the safety of the mother in my mind confusion reigns supreme   I believe that abortion is appalling yet I find incest equally egregious in my mind confusion reigns supreme   I believe that childbirth is sacred yet I believe that rape is abhorrent in my mind confusion reigns supreme   I believe in the rights of the individual yet this should apply to both mother and the unborn in my mind confusion reigns supreme   I believe in the indelible courage of mankind yet I have seen the horrible atrocities committed by the same in my mind confusion reigns supreme   I am a moral, conscientious, compassionate human being yet I live in a world drowning in unimpeded sinful acts in my mind confusion reigns supreme   polarized arguments and fights bear no fruit love of the unborn, love of the mother, love of each other the supremacy of confusion can only be defeated by Love . . .
