Birth in Red
Birth in Red
Love the unborn
Born on your own
Glasses clink in the diner
Susie just got a job
Long hair long legs
Fryer sees her impressed
Young love in French fries
She glances he prepares
Few weeks later
Bun in the oven
I’m not ready
He’s not ready
In the state we live in
Have to deliver
If he/she comes out
State turns around
We’re not responsible
Scream from the trees
Save the babies
Out of womb
On your own
Say life is precious
Their actions disingenuous
Love the unborn
Born on your own
Glasses clink in the diner
Susie just got a job
Long hair long legs
Fryer sees her impressed
Young love in French fries
She glances he prepares
Few weeks later
Bun in the oven
I’m not ready
He’s not ready
In the state we live in
Have to deliver
If he/she comes out
State turns around
We’re not responsible
Scream from the trees
Save the babies
Out of womb
On your own
Say life is precious
Their actions disingenuous

Author's Note
It’s funny they love the unborn in red states but cut funding for Medicaid and WIC and chasing doctors out of the state.
