Six of them, five weird men
�sexist to the angry core
�and one fundamentalist woman
�are geared up to punish unto

death women who like sex,
�women who’ve been raped,
�women who can’t feed any
�more children, women trying

to finish college so they
�can get a decent job. All
�should die in abortions they
�made illegal. They intend

to push the country back
�to 1950 when women were
�properly subservient, Blacks
�they could lynch if judged

‘uppity,’ yes women in taffeta
�were prey, servile, servants,
�Latinos knew their place.
�LGBTQ people were jokes

criminals, fair game, fun to beat,
�jail. Those were the good old
�days when white men ruled
�and they’re taking it all back.
