To those women who have yet to procreate - and might not want to.

At 26, the battle cry rings my ear.
Women and Sisters stand tall -
With wooden spoons and hair barrettes.
Where is your life headed?
When will you have children?
At 26, you are long overdue for adult responsibility.
At 26, it is time for babies.

The world revolves around my biological clock.
The sun sets in protest to my pregnancy failures.
Fall in line and join the war!
Spinsters are the new recruits!
My dreams are of angels;
bouncing babies and maternal instincts prevail.
At 26, it is time for babies.
