O, My Dear Child, do not be born,
Remember you shall regret living
You got right but be sensible
Let me be grateful , dont be born
For if you arrive what shall you eat,
Empty of grain the land is drained
Be good just dont be born,
For your useless idle family can"t afford you
Your innumerable siblings cram the world
Wailing, squeeling, squeezing around
My life flame burns low
For lack of fuel consume
Some keep pets uncounted
How much they are fed is unaccounted
My Dear Soul, My Child, dont be born human
Be born where you will be looked after, taken care of.
