We don't ask to be born
to have our feeding tubes removed
and be cast out from comfort
by those who carry us
This animosity we harbor
is prenatal in nature and natural
like the guttural cries we make
as we're washed out in blood
It's a case where cage-free
leaves an unpleasant after taste
a reminder we're embryos eating eggs
that we're still trapped in limbo
Parasites who pretend at altruism
we bear affected affection
with a grin as often as we can
until we simply cannot
We don't ask to die
to have our feeding tubes removed
and be cast out from comfort
by those who carry us
