From the Ashes of Roe, We Rise
From our uprising, You. Will. Fall. and May you Burn.

We used to be respected.
At least, thats the way it seemed.
At least you pretended
Pretended that we had autonomy over our lives; over our bodies
You pretended to so graciously give us what was always ours for the taking,
Our birthright.
You gave us hope
For a short while
Your ploy to lure us in,
To Keep us close
To Keep us locked in
You. Lied.
We are not safe here.
We are not respected here.
You dangled our freedoms in front of us
As if you were going to let us reach out
and take them.
But it was a lie.
You decided that it was safe
For you to snatch our dreams right out
from under our noses.
You decided to strip us of any hope
of surviving and thriving
in a workd where yuo've placed yourself on top.
The world in which you dominate
The world in which you know you are powerless
if we even have a sliver of the freedoms allowed you
You know it. the knowledge of it scares you.
You're terrified of our strength, our power and our magic.
So you cower in the safety of the unjust world you've created.
You take your control over us,
because without it,
You are worthless.
You are lacking.
YOU. ARE. NOTHING.
And you'll be even less
when we come back into our Queendom
and destroy you.
you think that you've tighten the bondages on us
But you've only angered us.
We've been wronged.
So we will show no mercy.
You've been warned.

Funny how you can have a "birthright" while you advocate choosing death for others. I hope God blesses you with children who thank you for choosing life for them someday :)
Well stated!
