Dead Baby Dreams

I had a dream but unlike Dr. King my babies were never given the chance to play together..in life they were diced in the womb never heard a lullaby they were slaughtered by those that ho-hummed the Hippocratic oath. They were put in trash bags never learned to tie shoes. They were tossed to alleys no proof that they existed their necks were broken they were fed poisonous salt before they ever tasted the mint of a merry go round. Unlike Dr. King my babies never had a chance to play together... to march-to fight-to dream.
