Shocked but not shocked

An online article (at https://www.vancouverisawesome.com/2018/03/29/breastfeeding-hockey-player-canada/) prompted me to write this short piece.

Breastfeeding in Public

A hockey player feels the wrath of the uninitiated;
Men and woman alike complain.
For shame that you should treat a mother’s touch
with such anger and abuse.
Grow up and see as all as human beings,
not as sexual objects of the greedy or
sacrifices of the religious right.
It’s 2018 and it’s time for you to change.
