Thank You Richard and Bri for your remarkable feedback. Much obliged
Poet Menon, you've done an absolutely brilliant job with this poem. The subject matter is so sensitive and so timely. And so very personal. A very well thought out poem. Brilliantly presented.
Thank you Richard. I do believe seriously that 'planned parenthood' is the solution, now that we have any number birth control devises & medicines to choose from.
But, Gods, and of course Nature, are discriminating. The burden of pregnancy and motherhood lies solely with the female. Other animals do not complain, so we think. But humans?
I urge either 'parent' to seek counseling regarding topics such as abortion and suicide. Planned Parenthood may help some people decide the 'right course' for them.
True Bri, But people object that "the right course" suggested by you should not impede their "right to intercourse". Hope you understand,
Should a 'father' be able to stop a 'mother' 's choice for abortion? These and others are unfortunate questions posed by conceptions.
boon or burden? ? sometimes a situation is some of each. nicely done. bri : )
The hapless poet, Dear Sir. If there is a "YOUl, there needs to be an " I " too, isn't it? So he is there, Sir.
In general I approve of abortion (not forced) and equal responsibility for conceptions due to concensual intercourse.
But, in the case of intercourse outside marriage, man can just walk out. Even in the case of in-marriage.. But, the decision is of Nature or gods who cursed Eve, that she would endure labour pain, as the price for ‘eleven-minutes-long pleasure' (If I borrow the concept from Paulo Coelho.)
discrimination: treating a class of people differently (presumably poorly) e.g. based on race, color, national origin, gender, sexual preference.
I see (in my search) that 'boon' may be an adjective. As a noun it means: 'The meaning of BOON is a timely benefit: blessing.'...and it MAY have a 'price-tag' for sure. I say not always.
Wow! That is wonderful, Bri. "Boon" is a word I had studied (because English is not my mother tongue) while at school. I didn't consult a dictionary while using the word in the poem. My fault. (Smiles) …
Part 2. About ‘price tag". Liberty of the poet, Sir. The poet writes ‘always'. Bri MAY read ‘sometimes'. Smiles, Sir.
What abortion laws have to do with personal liberty? Is there a conflict?
