The strange baby

It was on a strange night
The moon blinded, no twilight
Mother had carried it for ten month straight
Mother was in pain throughout the night

Then the strange morning came
Mother bleed so bad, we taught she would die
Unexpectedly, popping its head first
Then vomited it red-whitish body
The size of a red-neck... Almost without life

No cries, not even a laugh
sàngbàngelète ò-ò-ò
A gust of wind swept through the room
A cold shiver ran down my spin to my hood
Is mother's baby dead?. Oh motherhood

The nurse helter skelter she ran
Iya agbebi with her fallen breast
Pinched mother's baby so hard

Weeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!
Its cry broke the dawn to day
Renting into the thin air,
Resounding in every ward of the hosipitu
Mother's strange baby
