Mama Dont Cut the Cord

Mama if you love me please don't cut the cord Don't separate me from your world And cast me into this wicked earth Look at the hills of Longonot Do you see ice capping All I see is fire on the hills Coming down to consume me So mama, don't the cut the cord. Mama when you bear me take a deep breath Feel how the air chocks your lungs So irritating you will not feel your labor pains Mama my lungs are weak to purify The outside world is polluted So much filth in the air Carbonated than beverages So mama,dont cut the cord Mama don't bear me to these streets Where nobody gets enough of anything Or worse,so rough no one gets anything Other than convicts,deaths and miseries Mama these streets turn brothers against brothers Survival is for the killers and thieves thrives Cemeteries overflowing So Mama,don't cut the cord Mama you know I love so much don't cut the cord I want us to be immortal and live forever Let's be gods through the umbilical cord And give back life when one dies through it Feed you when you no longer have teeth When you no longer can swallow And do the same to me when I no longer can So Mama, Don't cut the cord

Interesting but baby really does want to be born and to learn about the world Mama is there to love and protect as long as she has a breath in her body. Life is meant to be lived and we all have our troubles but God helps us to survive We all perceive life in different ways that is what makes us all unique Well done and be blessed Edith
