Birds and Bees & Jesus

The Supreme Court took away a person’s personhood today by taking away federal protections, promises, progress, by telling us we don’t own our bodies once another body begins, even in half-hearted stages, zygotes got more rights than a full-on fully-formed human, and here we are being told our rape, our molestation, our mistake, our going-to-miscarry-nonformed-nonbaby, who is going to take us to the grave with it, that non-baby matters more than I matter, because they’ve been on a crusade to take it all away, to take back the protections, promises, progress we’ve been fighting for these many years, and maybe soon, the gays and lesbians can’t be married everywhere again, and folks can’t take pills to stop from breeding, and maybe white men will have the upper hand again and women and sissies and cross dressers will stop invading the white-collar workplaces, and stop stop needing them to live, and now I sit here gobsmacked that there’s a possibility my marriage will be anulled by the state of Misery, because they insist a woman should marry a man, not a trans man, not a trans woman, not a woman, because we all have to breed; they need us to breed, cuz they say this is a christian nation, but I have no idea what Christ has to do with any of this taking away of autonomy, because I can tell you right now Jesus keeps shattering the temples with his rage; Jesus had faith in us for a minute, but he keeps losing the faith, because every time we come so fucking far, we fuck it up, just like how we fucked up our chance at Reconstruction, just like how we just had to have Jim Crow, just like how we love to slam people in the slammer to make up for not having slavery, and that’s just the tip of the iceberg, cuz look at the planet and look how we just love to frackin’ frack for fucks sake cuz we can’t have nice things, just like right now with Roe we’re turning back time again and Jesus is turning in his grave (again) knowing that lives are being devalued and endangered in his name (again).
