Trifling

Each sperm will be a child, the result is stifling
my sympathy could be termed as trifling.
Porn outlawed, hands will be tied.
“But we didn’t think of this!” the people cry.
AI twisted to measure our lust
claiming to protect the weakest of us.
“But a sperm is only half!” It doesn’t matter,
the AI in charge is mad as a hatter.
If two cells together is deemed a child
than why not one? And the AI runs wild.

I took the photograph yesterday. A sign of spring in the Pacific Northwest is that the moss turns green. And grows. And grows.

For the Ragtag Daily Prompt: trifling.

  1. Wow! This rendered me speechless. Very thought provoking.

  2. And I just read that Georgia allows tax deduction and requires child support payment for “children” from the time of conception, with several other states considering it. Could the mother then sue that child for the pain and suffering of pregnancy and childbirth, including lost wages for maternity leave? (She’d probably have to pay it herself, but what if she immediately put the child up for adoption? Would the adoptive parents then be liable?)

  3. A powerful poem, between the need to cut population drastically and AI taking over, everything is pretty grim!
