Vagitanus

Vaticanus, the natal deity Had sown the star seed And caused the vagitanus Even the angels wept With joy to hear her cry He was charting out her destiny Visualising his future posterity Beaming on this beautiful earth The babies, he mused smilingly, First learnt to chant his name Surely the animalistic shrieks heard now Were from the dungeons of hell He pushed aside the thick murky clouds To see the sweet babe with a twisted neck Loud wails of the mother to see her dead Tore through the heavens waking up all gods Out of peaceful slumber at their miscreation Even the angels' cries thundered at the outrage Of another demonic sexual carnage on a holy land The heaps have been piling of female foeticide And one more angel added to the celestial stars (May 5, 2016 Judged on May 6, 2015 by John Lawless) June 6, 2015 For Second Chance 2 by Eve Roper *vagitanus is the first cry of a baby
