Injustice To Me
We live in a world
A world where women are no more than their uterus
A world where clumps of cells are more valuable than the human carrying it
A world where women put bags over their heads to walk in for cancer screenings
All because it’s at a Planned Parenthood
A world where people believe their God should be everyone’s God
A world where their God rules our courts
Our congress
Our Government
The land of freedom that forces religion in our laws
A world where two-week-old cells inside a woman
Are more important than black lives being taken in our streets
A world where a child’s life matters
Until that child is disabled
Until that child is black
Until that child is an immigrant
A world where the ability to have a child determines our womanhood
Where we are meant to feel guilty that other can't have children, but we can
That we should feel lucky even if we do not wish to bear a child
Where giving birth to the child is more important than the child's life after
Who cares if the child can eat
Who cares if the child has a stable home
A world where government controls my body
A world where women have no choice
A world that will watch a woman suffer so they can appease their God
