Abortion II

Stupid girl! Your body isn't your own!
Don't you know the germs that roam
on every inch of your skin
have just as much of a right to live?
Even the ones that lurk inside
can use you to sustain their life.

The government can't take my organs!
All those guts are solely mine!

Stupid girl! To us your body belongs!
Every poem, every verse, every partially-composed song
must first go through our censors
to decide if it bears worth.
You cannot speak of aught
that would render our feelings hurt.
No lost love, no wanted future,
no trauma no matter how blurred.
We'll lock you up in chains in the deep annals of our house
until your will shatters and your muse you forever renounce.

Facebook can't my hateful post delete!
Whatever happened to freedom of speech?

Stupid girl! I have always held ownership over you!
I brought you to life in a bathtub out of the Eternal Blue
with the intention you would fulfill
the world's destiny I laid out in accordance with my will.
Your independence I allowed
for the sake of spontaneity.
But this is too far; I forbid this mutiny.
I always reserved
the right to revert
your body and mind back to that of a monster,
mindless, should you too far from my plannings wander.

To think I would be felled by my own daughter.
Chaos to Chaos, Ouroboros, next link to be slaughtered...
