WHILE CHILDLESS WOMEN ARE SCREWED
WHILE CHILDLESS WOMEN ARE SCREWED
(For B & her missus)
Your vagina works,
Great for you
So now you get a year off
To tend to your offspring do you?
Vagina’s good here, too
But I’m not due.
Will not be giving birth
To babies – will poems do?
In today’s Society
A woman’s worth
Is determined by
Her ability to give birth.
She will get time off.
She will get one year.
She will be paid fairly.
Then return to her career.
She will face zero stigma.
That’s what bellies are for.
She will get a party, gifts
A year off and out the door.
While the single or
Lesbian couple or
Sterile heterosexuals
Or stressed uteruses
WILL NOT HAVE THE LUXURY
To nurture a part of thee!
Only birthing bodies warrant leave
While fertile childless minds atrophy.
Do you know how hard it is to create
A book, poem, painting or a state?
To nurture a WORLD, give back and help relate:
You rip from uterus, we tear our hearts and grow your brains…
Imagine AMAZING WOMEN
Allotted their Life’s adventure!
Taken up in ONE YEAR:
Not baby but passion, self-care.
Your vagina works,
Great for you
So now you get a year off
While childless women are
Screwed.
