Long Contraception Poems

You Never Listened
by Michael R. Burch
 
You never listened,
though each night the rain
wove its patterns again
and trembled and glistened...
 
You were not watching,
though each night the stars
shone, brightening the tears
in her eyes palely fetching...
 
You...

Antinatalist Poems

Habeas Corpus
by Michael R. Burch 

I have the results of your DNA analysis.
If you want to have children, this may induce paralysis.
I wish I had good news, but how can I lie?
Any offspring you...

How can I concede on the eve of pain?

When I never saw it coming 

And I never felt the rain

Drops my heart beat stops

Down to the soles of my feet

I cannot breathe

And I cannot speak

The water like a rumpled sheet
Curled limpless at my feet
And then unrumpled on the sand
Cast its lassitude and moan
Audibly pulling slips of water above a golden knee
The sands' clean belly dissatisfied
Make naked now the barren...

Death
kills not despair
emotion found in Hell
nor does it kill wrath
against life imperfect
kills driver's chance 
instead
to turn wheel
to gratitude gear
before bodyless 
descent
down 
slippery slope
of no return
all stays static
in Hell
no need for change
in boring hell
only the perfect...

Hi there new born baby, welcome to your life,
Off to work tomorrow, mother’s got no choice,
Your at the teats, sister’s slung around her back,
Ten hours in the field, gathering god knows what,
She’s pregnant again, another...

Can you consent at 16 if you can’t handle the heartbreak?

Zeitgeist - My 1960s - Liz Walsh

Kaftans, mini-skirts, Carnaby Street fashions.
Angel Delight, Hirondelle wine and that sheepskin rug.
"The price of round steak on a Saturday" while
Magdalen Laundries kept dark, dark secrets!
Nylon socks, Cuban heeled boots,...

Blissfully ignorant and supine,
Lost in the economy line,
voters don’t have a clue
that liberty is through.
Apathy dictates all else is fine.
People keep telling me how foolish I am,
but frankly I don’t give a dam.
I’m going to...

Never bake them in an oven
That would be wrong
Making babies should never be a mistake

Rub two sticks together in a rainforest
Use a flashlight under the cover of night
If you get lost use matches not rocks
Babies...

whose women watch the US government insist upon

I have written of love and romance someone
passed a comment about being careful of
false idols. This left burning questions within
the mind and heart. Golden crucifixes, ornate
statues, papal rings to be kissed are not these
false idols,...

You had access to all the world’s resources,
Over nature, you had sway;
With newly acquired prosperity,
You had your own way;
Of green forests – industrial land acquisition;
Of all good sense – contraception,
Upon us, you have brought the...

Born into poverty
Instead of heraldry
Disappointment struck me glum
Square peg in a round hole
Ends up on the dole*
Got no money and I want some

My nights of abandon
Were strictly rationed
Contraception isn't cheap
Then into these drab nights
No warmth...

The sex study is complete, the report is out
And shock and awe and somber rage
Greet the moral news of all that we find out
Children corrupt and from tender age
Where innocence was constrained. And I
In grief...

I sat and read a book today,
A horror book with terror and fear.
“Don’t lie with a male as with a female” it said, 
You’re an abomination if you are a queer.
Then “Dash the little ones...
