OUR BODIES

Debbie Middaugh AKA TURBO1904 1963 (San Diego, CA.)



 In the land of
The dollar bill.
 Women no longer
Have free will.

  In the year twenty
Twenty-two.
  We will not adhere
To your point of view.

  Our bodies, our choice,
Our decision.
  F*ck the supreme court
And the dirty politician.

  You're on a mission to
Impregnate all the girls.
  Careful the collision of
These two worlds.

  For many eons you
Have led us astray.
  We have been saving
For a rainy day.

  The men who force us
To have a child.
  Tread lightly the woman
Is a beast of the wild.

  You want Handmaid's Tale
To become a reality.
  This is human trafficking
And brutality.

  We will die fighting, we will
Not live on our knees.
  We are not going to allow
You to do as you please.

    Life is a two way street, coming or going, yes or no
    You have no conception what love is about, smarten up or ship out !
    If you live in the gutter, what do you expect ?
