Your ignorance
Is not my bliss
It is my enemy
You've harmed me with
And with your religious words
That forced us all
To watch our uteruses grow
And our bellies wide, round, heavy
That scares us into motherhood
Because we weren't ready
But we didn't know how to be safe
We weren't told the proper ways
Of condoms
Of lubricants
Of birth control
Of morning after pills
Of rhythm methods
Of pre-ejaculation
Of friction
Of dicks and cunts
and of protection
Because you told us 'sex is sin'�
And to be a good girl
We have to wait till marriage
But we didn't wait
And we didn't know
And now baby's up for adoption
