Rich white men in their putrid sweat
Laughing gleefully as they write laws
Laws to control my uterus
Laws to control my body
Laws to control my life
Laws to control me
Obligation
Inclination
Speculation
Legislation
Degradation
My confession
I will fight your possession
I’ll meet coercion with subversion
I am not an illusion
I am
Revolution
