How do I describe
The anger and tears
That fills my soul
Every day.
War
Being waged
In the false name
Of religious equality.
Where outright hatred
Is the new "golden rule"
How we live our lives
In today's world.
As we hide
Behind ignorance
And unsupported fears
Against society's evolution.
Might
Becomes right
In denying sanctity
Over our bodies.
Where all life
Is sacred
If you follow
This belief.
White straight Christian
Cisgender men
Knows what's best
For our nations.
Never mind
They're a dying species
Like North American
Songbirds.
Or their philosophy
Places society's most vulnerable
At greater risk
For death.
Stumbling
Our way forward
Hope and faith
That change will happen.

Author’s note: Railing against the lack of control that American women have over their bodies. Being pro-choice, doesn’t mean every American woman will have an abortion. Rather, just of the many choices that they have available to them, should they choose this decision.
