Clear As Mother’s Milk: Notes of an Online Journal

“Clear As Mother’s Milk”


On the questionable rites of childbirth,
Of the numerous issues oft’ quoted.
For the women who rate, albeit, worth,
Needn’t worry on how I have voted.

Simply stated, the way life is fated;
All my choices, concerns, formal noted.
Like the Forces that be, annotated,
With assurances scribed, sugar-coated.

Let it be, forthwith signed, duly dated,
On the practices I am devoted.
How much more red tape is there created
That have edited words and promoted.

When will be, forward hence, on arrival
To my inbox it has gently floated.
Will it know my child’s chance of survival
Or be left at the door & deep-throated?
