Conjoined Twins

Our birth is rather rare! Hasn’t Nature been unfair? Our bodies fused at points, We’re babies freak – you stare! We’re mostly just stillborn! But, some are born alive; None know how we are born; We were called ‘Siamese Twins’! ‘Conjoined Twins’ is better! Some worked as circus clowns; Some lived to adolescent age – A life like in a cage! Some had two heads and one torso; Some thoraces, conjoined; Some were fused back to back; Why God allows our births? Thoracopagus; pygopagus; Dicephalus tetrabrachius: Some died before their birth; Some were mere exhibits! Some were lucky to earn some name; Some were lucky to get some fame; But to be born as ‘Conjoined Twins’ – Oh, what a horrifying shame! But those were olden days! There is now improved scope; The modern world gives hope – To help us live separate. Just try to live like us; Then, you will know our plight; Something had not been right; We cannot live and fight! Yet, life is miserable; We are a sorry lot; We live with anguished hearts, Until we can depart! Most of us can’t survive; Yet, some are born alive; To live for long, we strive; God allows some to thrive. So, pray, we shouldn’t be born; But you kill the unborn, All hale and hearty kids – Foul murder, God forbids? Be humane men, women; God watches from heaven; How can you kill children, Who aren’t deformed like us? Copyright by Dr John Celes 5-20-2008
