Take your Whole Baby Home
By Glen Powell
I am a newborn baby boy
Ready to go home
Where is my mommy
Where did she go
I am in a room with doctors
Who will care for me
They strap my arms and legs
to do the best for me
I feel a terrible pain
I scream in agony
As they separate tissue
not developed completely
A cut at the top
this is where it starts
Why are they doing this
It really hurts
In goes the bell
This hurts like hell
Out comes the knife
I scream for my life
Around the bell it goes
Cutting without care
For what I am going through
Is anyone there
Are they killing me
Will I die of pain
So close to my birth day
This is done in vain
A quarter size piece of flesh
This is what is taken
They say it’s for the best
My heart is broken
They say it’s just skin
This is not true
It’s an organ with a function
That was cut from me
Why is this done
I don’t know why
They say it’s for the best
They don’t listen to my cries
They cut a piece of flesh
With nothing to stop the pain
It was part of me
Stolen who do I blame
They say its for the best
It will stop disease
This is not true
You must not believe
If this is true
Then my teeth should go
Cavities might come
And I will never know
Why is it legal
Torture of a baby boy
To do cosmetic surgery
So soon after birth
Why did my mommy
Have this done to me
She did not know
She did not see
If you saw this happen
To a newborn boy
You would cry for hours
You would feel no joy
This is done in private
So no one would know
If they found out
The money would not flow
They took away my pleasure
They gave me GREAT pain
it took away feeling
I will never know
Where are the police
To arrest the abusers here
Now one seems to care
A crime was committed here
They take me to my mommy
Say I will be sore
The pain will last forever
My memory will be poor
Of what they did to me
But they have done no good
Please stop this from happening
To other boys for good
Why do they do this
Look at the facts
Remove a healthy organ
It doesn’t make much sense
For what they are doing
Does not prevent disease
To make me look like some others
But what about my ears
All of us are different
In so many ways
Why give me so much pain
for my birth day
I just wanted love
On my birth day
All I got was pain
And lost a part for good
I will take this pain
Use if for good
Till other boys are safe
From loosing their hood
Take your whole baby home!
