To Produce a Baby On Earth

To produce a baby on earth
cannot be  just a biological role
or a pleasurable human project
not a byproduct of sweet love

It is a role to bring up a human
someone with a mission on earth
to build or to bring happiness to all
One whom even birds will honor

But when the duty is mishandled
Surely the parent joyfully reproduces
a monster creature to the world
to destroy, curse and cause sorrows

That is when parenthood is a joke
Yoke around the neck unimaginable
