A Response to the Appropriation of Dr. Seuss by Those Who Don’t Care About The Places We’ll Go

A person’s a person, except when they’re not
There’s a pretty big difference; it matters a lot!
An embryo, blastocyst, zygote or fetus
Don’t give politicians the right to mistreat us
They can’t hear, they can’t feel, they can’t think, they can’t see
But they’re somehow, some way, more important than me!
A zygote is floating inside of a womb
While a person will need just a little more room
But it’s not about size, as they like to say
They don’t speak for the voiceless, try as they may
They speak for themselves and they speak for the church
And they don’t seem to mind leaving us in the Lurch
You see people have goals and have dreams to pursue
They have families and friends and enemies, too!
Being pregnant for months is a pretty big deal
And giving birth to a baby is quite the ordeal
My body, my choice! I must say I resent
That someone may use it without my consent
What goes on in one’s body’s their business alone
And let those without sin cast the first stone
A person’s a person, no matter how small
Except when they are not a person at all
