Vagitanus
Vaticanus, the natal deity
Had sown the star seed
And caused the vagitanus
Even the angels wept
With joy to hear her cry
He was charting out her destiny
Visualising his future posterity
Beaming on this beautiful earth
The babies, he mused smilingly,
First learnt to chant his name
Surely the animalistic shrieks heard now
Were from the dungeons of hell
He pushed aside the thick murky clouds
To see the sweet babe with a twisted neck
Loud wails of the mother to see her dead
Tore through the heavens waking up all gods
Out of peaceful slumber at their miscreation
Even the angels' cries thundered at the outrage
Of another demonic sexual carnage on a holy land
The heaps have been piling of female foeticide
And one more angel added to the celestial stars
