I type the poem for you

Birthday

Geronimo.
I jumped into the world
No parachute. Bootless,
falling into enemy territory
into the night (had my eyes closed).
Didn't take them long to find me
These suicide missions are all the same
Name? Not yet. Unit? 82nd Newborn, ha ha
Slapped me around a bit
but I didn't talk
Made sure I wouldn't escape
Sentenced me to life. I guess I deserved it.

Could you check this answer
The following words either have a bitter, humorous, ironic, or cynical tone.
These are the words: Enemy territory, Suicide missions, and slapped me around a bit.
Is the tone cynical?
Answered by Ms. Sue
Yes. Those terms are cynical.

do you have info about the poet? Also, more info about the poem of "birthday"
Answered by Roy
"Enemy territory" is cynical but "Suicide missions" refers to the fact that we start dieing at birth and "slapped me around a bit" just refers to the doctor spanking the baby to make it breath.
