You Have Wants Not Rights

Rich elite playing rent a womb

Because they are too busy to carry

Too skinny to carry

Too happy to source an empty river

And drink from it without prayer

Too busy to grow your baby in your own belly

What the fuck you gonna do

Once it’s here?


But we have time for the red carpets, don’t we girls?

Have time for the Reels and podcasts

Have time for the Vogue photoshoots

And interviews

And workouts for that perk arse

Got free holidays to attend

Lovely sheiks to shit on

And God forbid

That dress you was handed

Fits wrong


I can see it now

Baby wrapped in towel

You’re on the cover

Showing off the goods

A week ‘postpartum’

How it’s been so hard on

Your staff, because

We know you never would


You still look gorgeous

Body and skin and hair flawless

Preaching gospel to other new mothers

So they can look down at their loll

They’re unwashed and untold

Comparing to one another

But their little baby they hold

First time in their lives

Their weight, complexion and beauty

Ain’t crossed their minds

Just like the one you paid

To play mould

She’s got all of that shatter

But what does that matter?

As the difference is

Her baby was sold


She won’t get the centrefold

Won’t receive public boon

Put out to pasture

Until another celebrity

Wants her womb.
