Unwanted Pregnancy
What would a womb swell
And things suddenly cease to be well…
A life whose mother didn‘t guess
Would her tummy access:
The very last thing by her expected
And certainly the unlikeliest to be respected.
From carelessly monitored fun with crafty men,
Usually two or three guys or a reckless ten,
The Luckless One reminded of her romantic escapades
At some self-deceiving hour,
More hurting than adventurous raids
Turned badly sour…
To every woman handing a disturbing stigma
And blames of having slighted some sacred dogma:
What could keep her thoughts and gist
Often flying to the consulting room of a Gynecologist
And in very helpless moments to some roadside butcher,
Not infrequently, a bitter lesson teacher…
Crystal clear hints that the Luckless One
Would’ve the baby’s shaming visit stopped
And some tomorrow, against another
Make sure that penetrative condom is not dropped.
