Rico Leffanta Poet Limerick

Roe Weighed

Women have noticed with alarm
Justice has lost all of its charm
Despite lamebrains
The fact remains*
Doctors have vowed to do no harm! 


*FACT: One does not become an individual
until the umbilical cord is severed.
Until then, Matthew 18:9 instructs:
"If thine eye offend thee, pluck it out,
and cast it from thee"

Ann Peck November 5, 2021 at 2:32 PM Interesting Biblical verse you quote! Your poem invites hours of discussion. I'd like to be there. Rico Leffanta November 9, 2021 at 10:15 AM As you know, Texans don't want to discuss anything, especially with their god! A lack of education prevents them from understanding that, like a parachute, the mind only works when it is open! Aloha!

Debra L Brown November 3, 2021 at 8:02 PM Hi! Rico... Love the Limerick on Roe. It's amazing how much politics plays a roll in everything now, There are no morals any more - Thanks Rico - Debbie Rico Leffanta November 9, 2021 at 10:10 AM As Albert Einstein predicted, civilisation crumbles not from evil doers, but by those who watch and do nothing. On Veteran's Day, please remember none of us enlisted to support a government which prohibits women from seeing medical treatment nad prohibits doctors from providing it! Aloha Rico

Lindsay Laurie November 3, 2021 at 7:35 PM Hello Rico ... Humanity has not got it right yet and there is no sign of that in our future - thanks Rico - Lindsay Rico Leffanta November 9, 2021 at 10:12 AM As we see on the internet, people are too busy minding everyone else's business to notice what is happening under their nose .....Aloha!

Michelle Faulkner November 2, 2021 at 7:19 PM Justice seems to be only for wealthy white men (but what else is new?) Rico Leffanta November 3, 2021 at 11:13 AM Civilisation crumbled when the matriarchal system was replaced by irresponsible paternity . . . . . .

Ilene Bauer November 2, 2021 at 1:54 PM great title, rico! i shudder to think of the future of women in this country under the current supreme court. i'm sure that r.b.g. is rolling around in her grave... Rico Leffanta November 3, 2021 at 11:12 AM Greedy lawyers interpreting a Bible is certainly mind-blowing!

L Milton Hankins November 2, 2021 at 11:48 AM Interesting, Rico, very interesting. Also, may I add that it clearly states in the book of Genesis (NASB) that "God breathed into his nostril the breath of life and man became a living being." (Genesis 2:7) So, there is ample biblical evidence that one is not "a living being" until it breathes on its own. Just sayin'. Rico Leffanta November 2, 2021 at 12:07 PM Well thought and said! Every State in the USA - and WHO nation - require an infant to breathe before it can be registered as a Live Birth! I am surprised the Bible-thumpers have not made it illegal for doctors and nurses to kick-start an infant breathing with a slap on the butt . . . ..
