Rain Ii

Rain isn't pure
as it rolls over us
and rinses away
less than it leaves.

Enchanting scents little
more than reminders
of yesterday, somewhere
other than here,  now.

Seascapes we strolled
barefoot and pregnant
with ideals,  rivers
we cast line upon line in

suddenly drizzle on our
graying bare heads or
running off umbrellas
among the oblivious.

Barefoot and pregnant 
Is that what he wants us to be
Stepford Wives indignant 
Waving a thousand as if it feeds

A baby takes lots of raising
Before the bond will mature
Sure they get it at 18 maybe
If they don’t starve to death from being poor

1000 dollars for a newborn oh
Is really an insult to me
Kids need love food clothes
Well before turning 18

Barefoot

barefoot

barefoot and pregnant
she knew her place
the kitchen by day
the bedroom by night

wash and cook 
care for the children
then tend to her man
to fulfill his desires

she had an opinion
that mattered not
and longed for the day
all that would change

she heard of a meeting
to have women heard
a novel idea that 
had to be shared

She dressed in her best
and walked into town
she listened then acted
the world changed forever
