Now that we have our empire<\/p>\n

at least half by the sweat of your brow<\/p>\n

Your loved ones<\/p>\n

Your babies<\/p>\n

Dead in the ground<\/p>\n

Freedom your birth right<\/p>\n

Now we will strip away<\/p>\n

your share of the prosperity<\/p>\n

Your autonomy<\/p>\n

Even your humanity<\/p>\n

Now that we have our empire<\/p>\n

We strip from all women<\/p>\n

and especially little girls<\/p>\n

The right to talk back<\/p>\n

to a husband<\/p>\n

to a boyfriend<\/p>\n

to any man<\/p>\n

The right to disobey or defy<\/p>\n

your Father<\/p>\n

your Brother<\/p>\n

any Man<\/p>\n

Your right to decide<\/p>\n

who’s baby to have<\/p>\n

Your right to decide<\/p>\n

not to have your Dad<\/p>\n

be your babie’s Dad<\/p>\n

Now we decide who’s<\/p>\n

babies you will have<\/p>\n

Best act right<\/p>\n

If you don’t want us<\/p>\n

to make you pregnant again<\/p>\n

Oh sorry I lied<\/p>\n

It’s ok you’re used to that<\/p>\n
