Injected Servant
I'd like to say, it was magic
Or divine intervention
Perhaps
It was
Still, as Joseph was stabbing
My ass with yet another
hormonal injection
I failed
To rejoice
When the doctor called
To proclaim
My pregnancy, I believe
I heard angels sing, or
Was it warning
No matter
I believed
Morning sickness was nothing
Compared to birthing
Holy (kinda funny)
Shit
And my reward for all
This hard work
A baby
Born purple
Looking to
Not to me
His mother
But, heaven
