I Am A Product

I am a product of my environment
I am a product
Imported sperm
Shipped into factory assembly line
Into ova
Up fallopian tube
Packaged in uterus
Delivered premature because “time is money”
My mothers womb marked fragile but they snipped pieces of me
Because no one wants to buy a baby with a mother attached
Appraised, over priced, when priceless!
45 Cures in an umbilical cord BANKED!
Divide my organs and make a profit on suturing them into the sick
I retail like clothing
Heart, liver, lung, kidney, pancreas, cornea
Accessorize with my bone marrow & stem cells
Divide my organs & make a profit on 2nd chances

I am a product of my environment
I am a product
They thought they lied when they sold me as an authentic item
They swore I was a clone coz “all you niggers and spicks look alike”
Scanned my body to see its worth
but the x ray tech needed a price check
RECALL ON MINORITY!
Her voicebox wasn’t programmed to say anything more than:
“Yes Master” “Si esta bien Boss”
RECALL ON FRONT RIGHT POCKET!
Stitch opened bigger than minimum wage pay space
Batteries not included

Its like the made me just because they had to
Like prisons & criminal laws
Like protest & union jobs
Like mixed schools & affirmative action

I am a product of my environment
I am a product
My mothers womb marked fragile
But some babies are still damaged and put in dumpsters
And some can’t wait til their Birthday to open up presents
So gifts are taken away in abortion jars
And it tares me into pieces
Marked “imperfect”
But I know I’m priceless!
