Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart Poet Free verse

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

John Read March 25, 2025 at 9:28 AM Hi Maureen you had me singing along with that one good luck in the contest. Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart March 26, 2025 at 6:04 AM Thank you John! Thrilled to hear its musicality isn’t all in my own head. ;), xomo!

Duke Beaufort March 25, 2025 at 7:32 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. Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart March 26, 2025 at 6:03 AM There’s an industrial band, a favourite of mine from back in the day that now rereading this I think influenced the tempo and word choices, called KMFDM, from the German translates to “no pity for the majority”. xomo

Arthur Vaso March 21, 2025 at 8:48 PM witty!! Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart March 22, 2025 at 6:42 AM Thanks! 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 March 21, 2025 at 10:30 PM Hey Dr. Moreau, wassup?
