Dear editor:

In response to “When equality isn’t what it is dressed up to be” by Justine Larsen in the Powell Tribune, Tuesday April 4, 2023:

She walks alone in the gloom

New life slowly growing in her womb

No matter how rudely begun

Should a blameless young one

Bear the “medical care” solution?

Maybe heartbreakingly conceived

The most innocent can’t voice their plea

So other brave lives intermediate

Protecting the true minority

(Not the ones loudly grabbing for authority)

History speaks through its knowing keen

Flawed has courage always been

Castration? Mutilation? Crass wrong for wrong

Perpetuating the problem, not a fix for long

Instead of trying to stir up gender dissension

Fight for the heartbeat, kindly do

Give all human flesh a chance to grow in virtue

Elizabeth (Libby) Thomas
