a political something or the other

i apologize in advance if this sucks, but i don't do much overtly political stuff, i just felt inspired with all the sandra day o' connor business....

"murmurs"

she has a coat hanger
and he has a ring
and they will both use them
but maybe not clean
ly
and whoops that's the wrong part of
speeches are worthless
when language is pointed
and sharpened to hurt us

she's been invaded
in more ways than one
and the most she can do
is undo what's been done
to her
first from within
yes, she will do without
until justice is served
or just severed
don't doubt

that he knows his vows
and that stone isn't fake
and the love that he's got
is something a gavel can't break
into pieces
peace is what he'll have
when he slides that ring on
and he'll do it in front of a mirror
if he has to
but he's not beyond that

she has a coat hanger

and sharpened to hurt us

'cause as far as they're concerned
it's not her decision
they aborted that privelige
or right to indecision
she was actually a child at one point
so she's not a choice
but someone cut her mic off
and rendered her voice into

murmurs and whispers
are his favorite part
but he'd blast it with a megaphone
if he could make it artistic
you can't put a price
on the color of his eyes
but they just don't get that
they'll never realize

that she's somewhat free now
and he has been tamed
she's free to leave the harbor
and he will remain
a beacon of light
not just some rod of pride
she's no bump to speak of
but she's so full inside

she has herself now
and he someone else
and that's all they need
not some book on a shelf that says
"Yes you can do that;
Collect and pass go."
They're not yet in jail
And that's all that they know
