Pro Life Chop Shop

Pro life chop shops
sanctity botched
chain your baby makers
inspect your baby’s crotch 
laws ban
lives hang
hangers wrought and bought
the worst of how we’re natured

belts
you’re just another notch

fit in
or sin
resisting a rest
existing erased
pop up chop shops
for furl of brow and fraught 
the worst of how we’re natured

belts
you’re just another notch




Composed for Emo-Music Inspired Poems

Duke Beaufort Date: 3/25/2025 7:32:00 AM Maureen, It's all a very personal matter that most of us believe should not involve government or intimidation. Thanks for raising the issue and exposing some of the hypocrisy. Not a simple matter considering many people have strong religious beliefs they would like to impose.

Trying on my emo, channeling my goth roots for this contest, going for something singable. Is it just me or does it smell like under a bridge in here. xomo Keith D Trestrail Date: 3/21/2025 10:30:00 PM Hey Dr. Moreau, wassup?
