The Daily Grind - Little Comets

Tears on the abdomen

Of a woman but it’s ok

For she has a baby

Flexibly skiving with

Benefits driving the Daily

Mail says it’s a holiday

We always seem to denigrate

Ourselves again at the point of being

Fear kills

Even the most

Fecund of seconds

And I hold these close

Why should

Having a child

And a career

Not be reconciled?

We always seem to denigrate

Ourselves again at the point of being

So lost

The ephemeral everywhere

No cost

That our future should have to bear

A sure start

Has unraveled been turned into

Dust and to gravel to trample upon

You must feel so proud

Stigmatising every single mother

While your own world’s falling down
