My Right to Life
November 14, 2018
Red like a stop sign
That’s what that map showed me
Warning me of all the things that I can’t be
Now that this country decided how to realign
So I watch them all take what’s mine
My right to life
My freedom to pursue happiness
As of now America is such a mess
They all want the right to their rife
Soon all they’ll be able to resort to is a kitchen knife
