The Squat Toilet Baby
Some people
Have a really bad start in life
What to say
About the Chinese baby?
For him no welcoming hands
But the drain of a squat toilet
From which he was just saved
His mother dropped him there
After a run-a-way pregnancy
From a one-night stand
Afraid as she was
For the severe consequences
Of a shameful one-child policy
