If you're going to force me to keep this baby, you better be ready to pay money to keep him
from becoming a steretoype.
Pro-choice is the most successful propaganda movement to keep
the lower class low.
So is the death penalty.
It costs more to kill a man, due to appeals, then to give them free education to the level of a PhD.
You could be a doctor or a convict
and your government is hedging its bets against you.
We don't want you to keep the baby to cut your finances in half and cut your plausibility of basic education to nil--
stop the threat of too many peer minds finally rising to the occasion
and saying “this has gone on far too long”
richest and poorest nation in the world.
Our civil rights our outshined every day by Canada.
And they can't compare to our war death count,
so I think we're bicycling backwards
through a white suburb of blindness and neglect, letting the world rot outside our bubble and within our hearts
--no we say it's because of God
and because of morals. And in the history
of cultural societies using religious ideologies
to form a social standard slavery
they hope the poor don't know how to articulate without sounding blesphemous.
Thank God we've got the rich white republican
to tell us how God feels about my body.
