Little Fetus
I’m just a little fetus, I’ve never lived, I fear.
I’ve been up here in Heaven for about a year.
I look down upon the humans whom I have no chance to meet,
I wish that I could join them, that would be a massive treat.
-
It’s not to be, I know it, I know I never will
But to be a real live person would be a major thrill.
A year ago they took me, I wasn’t truly born,
It hurt a bit at first, and yet my mother didn’t mourn.
-
After that it was all silence, and I knew that I had died
I know I was aborted, and I know nobody cried.
I’ll rattle ‘round up here, I guess, as bored as I can be
With not a single soul on Earth who might remember me.
