Destination Gilead
Not one (I hope)
To get the cart before the horse
In a presumptuous post
It is just fun to editorialize
To advance my writing chops
As the future is fortold
In the wanton hope
Life will be better
If it is legislated and controlled
Enforced and “secured”
Planned then manipulated
By those who tell you
“They” know
In part
Because of God’s plan
How can you question that
For it is written
As vague as possible
To deceptively decipher destiny
As Kavanaugh moves into position
As the moral authority over
Women’s bodies
Presidential powers
Constitutional corruption
Unrestricted warlike weapons
Through a dog and pony show
Of deception and collusion
By Putin’s puppet
Who needs him
To be
The swing vote
Of innocence vs. guilt
It is not
What you know
Or the conduct of
You as a person
It is who you know
Deciding unhinged’s fate
Determining freedom
Against the penalty
Of golden thumb cuffs
Good thing
Canada
Has
No
Wall
Preventing us
Escaping from
Gilead*
* “The Handmaid’sTale” reference
How is it not understood that
Chipping legislatively away at
Roe vs. Wade
Is merely “baby steps”
(How ironic)
Towards not only
Forcing you ladies into
Having one
You may not have wanted
Or “accidentally” started to grow
Into having one
Against your will
Because
The state mandates you have one
As the tyranny of the uterus less
Passed laws stating you have to
By invisible “Commanders”
Who declare their own authority
Because you
Voted for it
And God printed it
Not quite as acceptable
In that light
Now is it
Not a whole lot different than
Nurturing Tommy two gun
Or Suzy soldier, signing up
To perform post natal abortions
On living breathing Gaia artists
That have equitable resources
Under their feet
Stolen
In their sovereign country
On the same global sphere
Everyone occupies
Next Exit
Gilead Left
Turn around and go home
