Not too far into the future, governments around the world will be seizing control of everybody's reproductive rights. Once that happens there is no real freedom left. Either that, or there will begin major wars over control of water rights. If one has air and water, he can survive without anything else for a month or more. Not having enough water is a death sentence that will break all treaties and agreements between countries. I see from this poem and your other poem you're a "cause man". That sort of thing may work in rhetoric, especially in speeches, but does not generally have the desired effect in poetry. Subtle satire seems to be more efficient at getting the job done, as it gets below people's defenses.Thank you.

Could you explain a little more what a "cause man" (or woman) is? maybe I can learn more about myself.. and o.k., I ll try to be more subtle in my complaining and accusations or maybe I ll just try to be not so complaining.
