Circumcision
A man in a white robe took his knife and sliced away the skin,
Cutting away at an infant's ***** while wearing a wanton grin.
The boy screams in pain just as a character from the movie Saw,
For he's been violated and brutalized, with no help found from the law.
For the man is paid to mutilate his screaming helpless newborn victim,
By two parents whose minds believe it's right to pay the man who ripped him.
There is no proof that circumcision betters the health of he who has been sliced,
On the contrary, hemorrhage, scars and ***** loss are but a fraction of the price.
My parents had my genitals hacked away by a piece of what falls from an ass:
The doctor that blindly breaks boys' bodies for the money that he cannot pass.
Until the day we see that circumcision is torture once taught by Egyptians and Jews,
I'm afraid that the penises of boys born in ridiculous cultures will be forever screwed.
