BABIES IN BASKETS

I could write so many words
Created to move, shake, and inspire growth
But I'd rather tell you of babies in baskets
Mothers placing offspring in steel cages
To ensure their continual safety
While piling food, toys, and drinks
On top of tiny legs
Making sure eyes are on the screen
Feeding empty mouths with scavenged product
...gotta bounce babies in baskets
