Roe v. Wade

Woman’s body. Woman’s Choice.

By De'Viar WoodsonPublished 3 years ago • 1 min read

An instinct of man

Is to support and provide

So what does it mean

When men don’t abide?

A failure of leadership,

Of epic proportions

It’s truly sad that,

We’ve had to reopen

This display of dominance

This example of misogynists

Doing what they do best,

Silencing women

While holding their uteruses as hostages.

Brother man, brother man

My good man & Uncle Sam

This decision isn’t ours to make

We can’t relate to pregnancy pains

And Mother Nature’s monthly visits

We aren’t chased

We aren’t trafficked

And we aren’t raped, nearly as much as women have been.

We’ll chase them through malls

All throughout halls, hoping we aren’t kicked in the balls

For our horny endeavors.

We’ll listen to women for hours,

In hopes of breaking their walls,

But we ignore each & every call,

When they call, begging for something better.

So if a man is supposed to support & provide

What do we call a man that cowers & hides?

A bitch.
