Unsang Song

Unsang song

To the body that buried crying souls turbulence is emotional
Womb for a wormhole life is optional,
One night  stand for  stars die quicker than supernovae and wrapped in
Mummifying sheets .thighs for dear dairy to hold record of men who came for visit.
The same thighs measure a how deep is the cut to the fetus should be.
No tiny hands or feet for lullaby songs.
back door clinics welcome unwanted life for the cost of living give life no meaning.
                                                     
pillow talks to seek a place under the skin where lust resides,
for what reason should a latex determine the fate of responsibility?
rough talks heat of pleasure where demons dance for the sad tune of reality.

palms rough like surfaces of hard rocks,
tin men walking around with empty chests,
when prides are sold over the counter for a one night stand.

Friday afternoons are used for slaughter,
on the fourth termination, count increases every fortnight,
body heavy with smell of death around the waist like a waste site. 
who smells the coffee  when waters keep breaking for pleasure?

Tshediso, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@

Sad and true... but I refuse to judge and only feel great sorrow for all who face these circumstances and must live with their choices. Your lines are well written and some shook me, as they should. Thank you for sharing this controversial piece with Soupers. You may receive both positive and negative feedback when abortion is the subject. However, isn't that part of what it is to be a poet? We write because we must write and damn the consequences. Welcome to Soup. Keep posting!
