Exit Womb

(Muzzle Birth of a Nation) In the Big Bang beginning, there was an American Revolution for freedom ... musket in deed 1776 did the Constitution birth certificate read But, there was also an umbilical fetter prequel to this universal liberation story 1619 did the colony charter abortion bleed Pregnant with hope, the barrel chest, maternity cotton-dressed Lady prematurely delivered her ridiculed babies Over 150 years of bastardly greed ... many moons of half-breed, coin illegitimacy (Those chained children came out of the dark exit womb crying silently) For this, in deed, was the muzzle birth of a nation Musket tears mute born of captivity grief What a painful entrance into New World life, such a groveling delivery! The fetter cord children, who came out of the exit womb, were auction adopted in the free-market place (post-partum quickly) The foster parents were so trigger happy to receive their musket tear babies As the fake-Independence birth celebration saw the Roman candle fireworks of the Star Spangled cannon guns blazing This tragic exit womb, of an irony caged turtledove, had heavy metal complications The pellet price of uncut cord freedom is ere paid in a bleak future dearly Past sins twas resumed, in unsevered remembrance of the muzzle birth of a nation Oft how the forefathers’ clan clarion denounce their bastard kin yearly

Speechless my friend. Mad skills and scalpel precision.
