The first thing I had to do

Was convince all of my parents that poor people are good parents too,

so ingrained in their psyche that they couldn't get it.

the second thing I had to do was tell them you don't stand for injustice,

though they've never written one letter or one phone call.

The third thing I had to do was tell them that women are no different than men,

they have SEX!  Imagine that!

The fourth thing I had to do was succeed with a disability, be a published poet,

volunteer, and run races, still they want perfection even when it's not there.

I had to fight against all the odds to be a homeowner, to be a single mother

with a purpose, to be an activist and fighter all my life, with no help from anyone.

I'm not taking shit from you that says everyone is disability is a lazy taker.

Even on it, I've paid into it, no fault of my own that I should lose jobs.

Get On My Side for once in your life.

closed my bank debit card

 will go into the bank for cash, and I just ordered checks, the ones with carbon paper underneath each  and I'm not getting a pre-paid card for stores.  just cash. Won't be buying Anything online.  wanted to do more in person anyway. $39.55 and $39.99 fraudulent charges showing up on online banking I'll have to absorb these. I think I'm safe.

I'm just hearing how great Women's Health Services are in Clinton, Iowa.

 Did not do proper care for me while pregnant, didn't find out I was carrying two babies til a doctor came from Iowa City, two weeks before delivery. Went back recently to get a pap, and the doctor there couldn't get it, took up to 4 speculums. I told them everything, I'm going thru menopause, no offer of estrogen, or any kind of pill, told her I'm having pain from fibroid cysts in my uterus.  Nothing, ignored. This place should be shut down!!
