A Warning

Women of Texas, steady yourselves;

The breeze is turning into a gale.

The American Taliban is trying

To force you into a Handmaid's Tale.

 

Women of Texas, if you are

Of childbearing age, please remember

That wildfires of epic proportions

Can start with only a single ember.

 

Women of Texas, although they aren't

A panacea that cures all ills,

IF you're concerned, maybe it's time

To stock up on morning after pills.

 

Women of other states, beware:

The stealers of women's rights aren't through.

Attacks on you and your freedom of choice

Might be occurring in your state, too.
