Amendment

Wouldn't it be nice if

We had an amendment

To give civil rights to

Women

To once and for all just

Really lay it down from

A point of view of

Women

I know what you're thinking

That's just redundant

Chicks got it good now

They can almost be president

But worker against worker

Time and time again

As the rich use certain issues as a tool

And when I said we need the ERA cause I'm a fool.

It's cause without it nobody can get away

With anything cruel

You don't need to go far like

Just over to canada

To feel the height and sense of

Live and let live

What is it about americans

Like so many pitbulls

Trained to attack them

To never give

We gotta come down abortion

Put it down in the books for good

As central to the civil rights of women

Make diversity acceptable

Make it finally understood

Through the civil rights of women

And if you don't like abortion

Don't have an abortion

Teach your children

How they can avoid them

But don't treat all women

Like they are your children

Compassion has many faces

Many names

And if men can kill

And be decorated instead of blamed

When a woman called onto mother

Can choose to refrain

And contrary to ions(?)

Of oldtime religion

Your body is your only true cominion

Nature is not here to serve you

Or at any cost to preserve you

That's just some preacherman's oldtime opinion

Life is sacred

Life is all so profane

A woman's life

It must be hers to name

Let an amendment

Put this brutal game to rest

Trust women will still take you to their breast

Trust women will always do their best

Trust that our differences make us stronger, not less

In this amendment

Shall be family structure shall be free

To be the right to civil union

If we take unions of all kinds

Unions of hearts and minds

To give society communion

Let's do more than tolerate

Let gay and straight resonate

And emanate all things human

With equal rights and

Equal protection

Intolerance finally ruined

And then there's the kids rights

They'll naturally be on board

A thunnel through which

Womens' lives are poured

Our family is so big and we're all so very small

Let a web of relationship be laid over it all

Over the ... Of power piled up into the sky

Over the illusion of autonomy on which it relies

Over any absolute of nature that's not surprised(?)
