Mineral Crystals
Grown within the Earth's own Womb
Harvested by Man
***
Ingest needed salts
Forming a body within
A Mom filled with Life
***
The due date is here
Remove the baby from her
Traumatic feelings
***
A belly grown big
A mountainous mound of flesh
She'll be barren soon

Good, vivid imagery! Nice!
I'm so thrilled you ended up publishing this one as it is beautifully done! Your comments truly are their own works of art :)
Very good. One comment you mention "she'll be barren soon." I guess you are implying that by giving birth she will soon be sterile and incapable of producing further offspring. Or am I reading this wrong? Anyhow good work.
Nice 👍
