Stars, Stripes and Blood

NSFWPoem

America, america!

White men shed blood on thee,

The people bought,

women who fought,

Still under your knee,

By white men's decree!

Oh horrible dystopian tale

Of oppressive strife

Forged by the straight white male,

Who worship a God who never fails,

To give them a reason to kill.

America,America!

Please hear our plea,

This isn't how it should be!

Being Black,Brown, Trans,Gay,having wombs

Shouldn't send us to our tombs.

We carry the same blood as you,

We deserve rights too!

If we were guns would we have more value to you?

America,America!

From your fascist banner,I flee!

You'll force a baby on me,

To "preserve human life,"

But won't help me in my poverty,

Make me send them to school,

Where the blood pools!

Women will die,your laws are the knife!

This is how you use your sovereignty?

I never in my life,

Thought I'd witness time travel,

But I just saw the 1950s unravel.

I will not birth another child,

Who has more rights in my womb,

Who is more protected in my womb,

Not in a country this vile.

Here death always looms, directly outside the

womb

Because a baby has to be born before you can kill it

For being black, brown, trans, gay, or with uterus

Because my baby has to be born

Before you let them be bullet torn

America,

Land of the unfree

Home of the knaves.
