Valid.

Is she defined by her virginity or her fertility?

Do you deem her useful because of her womb or her worth?

Or is her womb her worth?

 

If she made the choice to dIe without bringing child,

is she still woman or an unfinished human?

Is the accident of her gender the definition of her life remainder?

Answer this and answer loud.

 

Selfish you say, when she wishes to live on her own terms.

Unnatural to keep at bay, Nature.

Do you deny her the choices others exercise,

free from pressure and thoughtless in nature?

 

If she brings life in, she will decide all to it.

For all your pomposity you shall not

induce it or force it.

 

She does not threaten to extinguish but merely

ask that understanding be in plenty for you do not

can not know or see within.
