Supreme Indignation

To live in this country, ‘Twas brought home today, It helps to be Christian, Shoot weapons and pray. On top of all that, It’s a plus to be male - Just knock up a woman And then you can bail. If you are a female, To show what you’re worth, No matter who screwed you, Prepare to give birth. Despite if it’s not What you want, you must yield But don’t worry - they’ll pray For you out on the field. The atheists, Muslims And, naturally, Jews Have to hear about Jesus; You don’t get to choose. The land of the free And the home of the brave Must have R.B.G. rolling Around in her grave.

So sad "If you are a female, To show what you’re worth, No matter who screwed you, Prepare to give birth." So very sad. Great that it was POTD! I am proud of SOUP!

You are so right, David! It’s unbelievable to me that this is really happening. Thanks for the comment…

Such a powerful satire of the times and, perhaps, one of the best ironies. In a very simple-looking (which is not) rhyme, you have said volumes. Congratulations!

Fav'd, of course, but I wonder how the news can continually report more than 60% of Americans want choice, gun control, etc., yet the minority rule in a "democracy"? Aloha!

Thanks, Rico! Yes, “ of the people, by the people, for the people” seems to be including fewer and fewer people!
