    Louis MacNeice’s “Prayer Before Birth” uses an unborn speaker to explain all the tribulations, horrors, and challenges one can encounter in life. The unborn kid asks God to grant them a happy existence. They pray to God for protection against the world’s calamities, such as war, famine, murder, wicked men and women, and other things. It works so well to contrast the unborn child with his understanding of the darkest aspects of the world. They think about the faults they will commit in the future, beg for pardon, and practice the “parts [they] must play, and the cues [they] must take.” They pray that they are never turned into “stone” and spilled despite having to deal with all the challenges the world can throw at them. They would sooner die than continue.
