Lament for unplanned parenthood
My womb has been…. seized
By a committee
of ole white men with tight eyes
blue or grey
spare the rod
not
Control the egg…..power to the sperm
Shall I
Lay me down
Give birth to Christ…they tell me
Have the baby of……. your rapist
they say
Have the baby of ……..your lover
gone to prison
Have the baby of ……..your uncle
he was family
Have the baby….want to
or …..not
God’s child
HIS
My body/sacrifice
the fetus/parasite siphoning
first claim on my blood
The old men –it is their will to
Choose for me
but do they come at night
to hold ….nursing/ crying /puking
baby
child of woman’s womb
“round the world “
man’s sacred privilege
keep her ill literate /rape her/stone her /sell her
grind her down
cut her clit
with sharp laws their mouths cruel swords
Here in Amerika
they are finding tinder and lighting the bonfires
Again Killing again killing us
