You would not be surprised to find them
in the 21st century, as willfully stupid
as the ones who tried to thwart you and your
studies, the nunnery your only refuge
to keep control of your body and your mind.
Corrupt old men still run your church,
trying to put women in the one position
of child-bearing although they might prefer
boys for trans-substantiation and protecting
the priestly perverts. By now you’d think
we’d have made some progress, but no,
we’re still trying to wrest control of our bodies
back from Todd Akins and the Virginia Legislature
which has passed a law requiring vaginal
ultrasounds be thrust up into us as we decide
on a heart-breaking solution no one wants to take.
They think the children of rape should not be
optional. How much is wrong with that perception
of God’s Plan I cannot say in a few words.
Lend me some, Sor Juana, in your wisdom.
