The world was not thrilled today
And, in fact, paid little attention
To the unannounced births
Of first born sons too numerous to count
In many god forsaken shitholes
And places you would think are privileged,
To girls overpowered by twisted men and boys.
The press did not gather,
High society ladies did not gush,
Nor was there speculation what the unfortunate
Child’s name or life expectancy might be.
The blessed events were largely ignored
In developed countries whose upper classes
Would rather pretend they live in a Fairy Tale
And not be reminded of their culpability
In tawdry affairs.
