isn't my children, I am child free,
and proud.
It isn't my paltry income,
I don't need much.
It isn't my single status,
I am independent and self-sufficient, more or less.
It isn't my family.
They are all intelligent and handsome and,
usually, kind and gentle.
It isn't my lack of a suitable career.
I work as a volunteer, in various ways.
It isn't my lack of religion.
I am properly spiritual.
It isn't my impotent voting ability,
I am an Anarcho-Feminist and
proud to be.
It is,
our lack of time
in a time of Crisis!
And the wasted lives of others!
