AFAB Rage
Irritation
Indignation
Rage boils beneath the surface.
Bombarded
Disregarded
Ignored, but never silent.
Oligarchy
Patriarchy
Burn their bones to dust!
Hands that grasp at our ankles,
Hands signing law in our blood,
Hands on gavels to take our choices,
Hands clenched over our mouths….
HANDS OFF!
HANDS OFF!
We will never fall silent!
You force it? We’ll turn violent;
Channel our collective tempest
Into a rage, we manifest.
HANDS OFF!
HANDS OFF!
Agitation
Altercations
We will tear it down.
Condescension?
Contravention,
When law inflicts violence.
Inhumane
Now abstain
Deprive them of our blood.

Author's Note
While my rage can't be constrained to words, this is what became of it when I coaxed it to paper. Yes, this is about Roe vs Wade and the recent overtly malicious actions of the SCOTUS. Do not be fooled, this is not simply a government being oppressive. This is an active takeover of our government from wretched capitalists and global oligarchs that seek to continue and expand the enslavement of the masses. Your obligation to go to work lest you and your family starve in the streets, no matter what abuse they throw at you is slavery. No longer can we pretend it is modern survival, no. Your race, your gender, and your sexual orientation do not matter in the end - you are just as trapped as me.

Hello there
It’s so hard all of this on the news. I’ve found the whole thing rather triggering on a personal level. It’s interesting to read people’s opinions on the subject, especially women. Thank you for shedding some light on it.
