Be Wise - Be Fetal

May all your positions be fetal
Be fetal in your actions 
Curl up in a ball.  Be round.
Be all the ball you can

If you have a womb stay inside
If you have two you should share
Wombs for two have a view 
Fetal people come from them
Some live lives inside a condo

Be wise.  Be Fetal.
Stay safe.  Stay inside.
Outside there is evil.

May all your gods be warm and cuddly 
May there only be One                                                                   
Too many gods becomes confusing
Confusion leads to California
Where people eat crackers in bed
Sell their babies for a bottle of rum 

Eat not your crackers in bed
Make love not war
Stay inside safe and warm
Remember to be fetal

An interesting concept, Earl, to save yourself some grief, roll up into a ball. Although, for a while this may work, it is no long term solution to a world that devours the weak and honours the deviant. Great job.
