A sad background

A baby in a crib
With only one dirty bib

Living with his mother
And with his grandmother

They’re moving around sluggish
The room feeling muggish

Hungry baby in a crib
Only getting a bite or a nibble

A baby crying
The mother hitting

Alone in the apartment
Food not in the compartment

Mother taking drugs
Shes feeling smug

Gone again and left alone
Another of the baby’s groan

Taken by the government to be protected
A Baby finally being respected

Taken in by a family that is the best
I am no guest

Finally happy at last
All of that is in the past
