Hurray, a child is born
A dispassionate child
A little to the right
And a little to the left
Yet it died a stillborn.
Like abiku
Another is born
The midwives have gone
With their bloodstained hands
And it is long they left.
This child that is not a stillborn
Is a victim of all diseases
And it has refused to walk
Screaming and slithering
Like a python.
