Drink Up Ladies

Drink up ladies

government’s

debating our health

and they don’t give

a damn about our voice.

A woman wanting

birth control is a whore

while a man wanting

an erection is a good old boy.

Drink up ladies

the right has taken

out a patent on morality

so they can sell it

back to churches.

Politicians are posing

for election pictures.

Grab a baby, a dog,

and an American flag.

Nothing spins better

than red, white

and blue apple pie.

Drink up ladies

we’re going

back to the future.

They’re refitting us

with aprons

and taking away choices.
