Sonnet #104

I'm pro-life, but I'm serious when I say that

I want to end the death penalty, end all war

I want to embrace all refugees, suffering so that

A man in a castle can be fat with power;

I want to end the drilling, end strip mining

I want to recycle, preserve the wild places

Against encroachment, No more polluting

No more decaying plastics, Intelligent races

Never live in fear of the knife and hook

Even the mindmute suffer nothing industrial

And the universe is to be explored, look up! Look!

We should be spreading life to the extra-terrestrial!

I don't think the label works with choice and women

Best make a system that's pro-life, not punish one sin.
