Jan Hansen Poet Blank verse

A Nation's Demise

A nation's demise

Women's rights are at a crossroads, the right to go up to the top in any corporation, sit at the table making decisions that might be useful for the firm, but unsafe 
for the society impressed by the powerful.
The highest accolade, often overlooked, is to give birth to a new life, only a woman can do this, but we appear
to forget what is important
The continuation of human life.
Women, married or not ought to have four children if civil life as we know it is continuing, that means a society must free women economically to pursue this 
noble aim; not as mere breeders, but loved members of
our nation,
Abortion is killing the nations in Europe, we must understand this before we end up a minority and a culture alien to us
No woman should have to go through a pang of regret
when the embryo, before it is conscious, is robbed of the chance of becoming a child. 

From the collection, “The Unknown Writer.” 2019

Arthur Vaso September 23, 2023 at 10:08 PM A nations demise is when they protect the unborn, and do nothing for the child already born. Hypocrisy at its highest and fanatics ruling like eons before, Most western nations are emerging from the dark ages, The USA seems to be moving to Iran. No wonder we need more women in positions of power, to overturn the stone age.
