While researching this monument I came across the following poem:
I am the human being denied the right to breathe
And I cry not for myself but the legacy they leave.
I am the voice in your conscience that cries from the bleak.
I am the words that the world is not willing to speak.
I am the gaze you will never see,
For I am the child who will never be.
I am the memory you cannot forsake,
I am the life they had no right to take.
But I am the error, the unfortunate mistake
I am the cold shiver that keeps you awake.
I am the touch that you will not feel.
I am the spirit that you cannot conceal.
They may tear me away,
And tear me apart,
But I had a right to life from before the start.
I am the heart that will not cease to beat
I am the footprints without any feet.
I am the innocent you can't put to sleep.
For I am the tears that the fallen will weep.
Thank you for sharing! All these babies have seen the face of God and Iām thankful for that small comfort amidst such a horrific genocide that has been committed on the weakest and most innocent among us.

Haunting.
