Soma Sonnet: Abortion Trilogy

It is the right of every woman, or,
Is it the right of every woman, so,
Some folks fighting for life inside the core,
Others say the fight is more blow by blow.
                         ~~go to sleep little maybe

The written trek crossed Egypt and the world,
Rome, Greece, Mesopotamia, and more,
Rice patties and bamboo trails that were pearled,
Procedures taught, too numerous the score.
                         ~~go to sleep little maybe 

Twas dark times, inbreeding made more childless,
crib death, world plagues, poverty, starved, and this,
matters of convenience act the mindless,
three tales, will we exist, it's hit or miss,
                         ~~go to sleep little maybe 

sad, mad, tis all topsy turvey they'd be,
Mom gots' to go, to sleep little maybe
