A Baby's Story
I am born,
just one second old,
My wriggly red body first feels the cold- As I fall to the floor, there is no soft landing, And the stench in the air, beyond my understanding- My first moments on earth seem somehow all wrong… Where’s mama’s nuzzle? What’s taking so long? Finally my mouth finds the liquid I crave, With no sign of a nuzzle, I try to be brave- My tiny frame quivers, from fear and from cold Until finally sleep saves me, this naïve one-day-old. When my eyes finally open, and I see this awful place, I will see my mama’s misery, the sadness in her face- The reason she can’t touch me - rusted bars that enslave, The waste on the floor of this huge sunless cave. Soon I will feel the suffering that billions have to know- Corporate greed surrounds me, as I begin to grow. |
