Jan Hansen Poet Sonnet

The Fall of the West

The fall of the west

Easy, abortion worrying, call for an appointment at five.
A well-educated woman has a career to consider
 this is her right to pursue her dream. (Work before pleasure.) 
a mother is hard work and the pay is lousy 
Birth rates in Europe are sinking, upsetting the balance of the future.
A less educated woman has to work also one pay packet is not thanks 
to our capitalist system called hard graft
In Portugal, the birth rate is low, from one generation to a distressing fall.
Old people die out there are not enough people to take up the slack, 
which in the end ruin a country?
If an unmarried woman has 3 to 4 children, she is seen as a loose 
Woman, we punish her and her children sending them into poverty
 while we should applaud her for saving the future of Europa
What is needed is economic stimulus making motherhood well paid 
a career to strive towards.
