Nature, did you even want to be a mother? 

    After the great big bang, did you consider abortion?

    Human life born, we were supposed to be
         "the future".
    Now, we retrograde to pre-Roe v. Wade.
Mother Nature, what about your future? 
Tell us, do you wish you focused on a career instead?
Mother Nature,
do you remember when your body belonged to only you?  
Mother Nature,
    when was the last time you fed yourself first?
Mother Nature, why can’t you feed us all?
    Humans, granted more than enough,
    so we fight for the last bite of your sweet apples.
Mother Nature, your biological clock is ticking.
Are your hot flashes baby fever or pre-human-o-pause?
Mother Nature, were Adam & Eve a “whoops”?
       Mother Nature, why didn’t you use protection?
       Mother Nature, you asked for this.
       Mother Nature, who's the father anyway? 
Do you even get child support?
Mother Nature, 
    are you a working mom?
    stay-at-home mom?    
    soccer mom?
Mother Nature, what's your parenting style?
Mother Nature,
    who were you before children?
Mother Nature,
    when was the last time you had a moment alone?
              Do you ever fantasize about a childless life? 
Mother Nature,
    are you ready for an empty nest?
Mother Nature,
    is it time we move out of your basement?
