Now if you listen very closely,

you can hear the lies he told,

while he was in between her thighs.

To be unprotected, and happy as it may.

To wake up to a baby the very next day.

The mother slowly panics,

the father unaware.

The baby in her stomach,

will soon meet a snare.

She feels the need to puke,

her soul she must rebuke.

The infant is alive,

but its daddy is nowhere to be found.

She protects the child,

because it is her own,

and when it gets older,

it shall take its fathers throne.
