Baby shoes for sale,
failed to be worn.
Abandoned womb,
and thus ended a woeful tale.

To where had its soul ascended?
A makeshift nirvana.
A stillborn love child,
silently discontented.

Recumbent and listless,
it wore a morbid disguise.
An unfortunate victim of malevolence,
it lay there, wan and lifeless.

The mother, she regarded its face,
upon which she looked with glee;
For nine months ago thereafter,
She carried this burden with utmost distaste.
