A birth from a dream
Apgar low at first,
Then a scream
Struggle to survival
New on the Scene.
Soon siblings frolicked in the sun.
State and community joined the fund.
Shout Success To Economy\'s Token
To those forever considered broken.
Sickening sudden, struggle, death and dismemberment
Staff flight, disbelief, tears and torment
Politic and money in an empty bed.
Everyone mourning your baby is dead.
