Red, red, red—
government control, swords
upon babies’ heads, staining
mothers’ souls.
Infanticide, gendercide, suicide—
taken from the streets;
nowhere to hide
from the slaughter of daughters.
Red, red, red—
abortion, coercion, sterilization,
feminine damnation,
perpetration, denies God’s creation.
Rein, reign, rain—
drowning full term babies
females plucked
and crushed like weeds.
Rein, reign, rain—
taking living, breathing
human beings, throwing
them away.
