The Uterus and Democracy

I feel more stressed,
Then ever before.
  Life delivers some blows,
That is hardcore.

  My financial difficulties are
On the increase.
  I hope I get out of this,
In one piece.

  It looks like luck,
It is gone for good.
  I have even tried,
Knocking on wood.

  A general malaise,
Has found a home.
  Confined to a wheelchair,
I can't even roam.

  My personal problems
Exponentially grow.
  It is getting harder and harder,
To go with the flow.

  The cost of living is at
An all-time high.
  Most of us are barely
Getting by.
 
  I see more drug use
There are more addicts.
  People are strange,
there are more derelicts

   Women are losing there
Personal autonomy.
   The uterus does not 
Belong to democracy.

America is where Trump can declare bankruptcy six times, but the poor can not even once because they have no assets to protect! Hang on! Aloha!
