(a rough draft of a political rant ... please disregard if you wish. Comments on improvement welcome)

The Republic of Gilead is coming
Roe v. Wade will be overturned
A fifty year old law will die one
More rift to tear this country apart

Marches are coming
Write your contact info on your body
Carry water, carry a cell phone, designate a contact buddy,
Dress comfortably.

Underground railroads Will we go back to backstreet
Abortions? Raped women forced to give birth
to unwanted babies? Eleven year olds told
to carry fetuses the full term?

Where shall I send money? Local clinics?
Planned Parenthood? The ACLU?
Whom shall I phone and email? My representatives in
Congress -- MOC In social media parlance?

Wasn’t the pandemic and anti-vaxxers enough?
Wasn’t the televised murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis enough?
Wasn’t the Washington riot, January 6, 2021 enough?
Or the Chief Instigator, 45, with his cohort Putin, enough?

I’m saying right here ENOUGH!
I won’t flee over the border to Canada
I won’t smile and like it
I’ll fight every inch of the way.

If Biden wants to pack the court, Good.
If Congress codifies Roe v. Wade, Better.
If Alito, Kavanagh, Gorsuch and the rest
of the ilk are forced to resign, BEST.

We won’t back down
We won’t go back
We won’t lie on our backs
to have babies for the Fuhrerland.

The Overlords say there’s a shortage of unskilled
labor not enough workers to clean latrines
they want a class of under-educated
laborers to do shit work.

This is the way they’ll do it:
force women to lie on their backs
to go through unwanted labor for a huge
population of unskilled laborers

Back to the bedroom, back to slavery
Not enough slaves in this country built on slavery.
Do a Bojangles dance in the dying streets and don’t cry.
No We Won’t!

People are scared. What’s next? Will the Gay marriage
be attacked? Civil rights? What is the master
plan of the Overlords?
Baby factories, baby plantations?

Singing in our chains, just singing in our chains
Glory be, I’m happy again. We’re not
in Kansas anymore, we’re not in Minnesota Goddamn.
In the Republic of Gilead?

Goddamn.
