Birth Control Pills

(Dedicated to International Women’s Day – Deepak Sarkar, www.kolki.com)

 

[Fertile Women can avoid pregnancy avoiding or having protected sex during ovulation in monthly cycle! Imagine ‘Birth Control Pills Industry’ if Patriarchs had to swallow one a day! Aren’t Birth Control Pills leading to unwanted irresponsible sex, date-rape, spread of STDs & HIVs, and even inviting incests besides many side effects? Kolki] 

 

One pill a day –

A fertile wife, a daughter, must take

In anticipation –

That they might encounter sex

Causing unwanted pregnancy or untimely babe!

 

Teenage girls –

With no desire for pre-marital sex

Or a grown up girl –

With no permanent boy friend

A wife who enjoys once in a while in bed

Must take a pill a day!

 

Breast cancer statistics increases day by day–

As many encounter obesity as one of the side effects!

Others busy removing unwanted hair growth desperately!

Still, ignoring dangerous labels on the vile,

They know, must take a pill to satisfy!

 

Despite side effects and silent sufferings

Industry grows spending billions advertising

Politicians ignores worrying about jobs, economy,

Who could afford losing upcoming election money!

Victims watch listen helplessly -

Competitive claims, debates, from motivated studies

Enriching medical industry with new patients and therapy!

 

Media preaches the pill as a sign of freedom!

Man loves free sex without being responsible!

Sexual diseases spread, so does deadly ‘AIDS’!

Commerce succeeds only women are enslaved!
