Ninety Nine Babies

There is an evil place
where one baby gets all that
they want and need.

Eighty nine babies have to
cry a little harder in hopes
that they receive.

While fifteen babies are always
needy, but neglected by the
attention for that one baby.

When ninety nine baby’s
thoughts are stunted by
the things they see.

Those ninety nine babies
usually give more to the
rich and watch TV.

And that one baby is
quickly taught, learns to
speak and chooses to read.

In that place importance
is put on toys and games
that no one needs.

And education has holes
and doesn’t really teach how
to survive that society.

But if ninety nine babies are
too focused on survival how
can they spread their wings?

In that place where you
“can do anything” it seems
like a false dream.
