A Foetus Pleads With Its Mother

A scrap of life, a tiny spark Awoke I feel so weird “Where am I? This is nice. So warm. So dark and moist. What is that noise I hear? A steady thumping noise Dear God it is my mother. Oh Mummy dear I am here Inside you. Can’t you hear? Where are we going Mummy dear? To Auntie who? Oh Annabelle. That’s nice, you have a sweetie Oh good we’re going home. Have you had your sweetie yet? Oh yes I can feel it Oh Mummy what have you done? I feel so sleepy Why can’t you hear me? What have you done? Please stop it, please stop, Please stop it, please please…”
