A BABY BOY BORN A PRINCE (MADE A FEW CHANGES)
A baby boy is bornBorn in to luxury
Who will never know
Poverty, hunger , need
Or wont for nothing
Life mapped out
All seamed to cheerer
So the media would have you believe
Trust the silent majority barely gave a shrugged
The new arrival
A baby born today his arrival lorded in the
In the worlds media fanfare sounded
May be a latest statistic to most one among millions
Born that day
He will not know hunger nor poverty , the daily grind
As will the millions born that day
He will not know what it's like being in wont and need
Little or no educastan , he will go to Eaton or some top
Privet school , Cambridge or Oxford universality
Wont have to study fore a degree
He will like his grandfather be awarded a honorary degree
Just the education of the streets , fore the rest born that day
Just one more brat born that day , he
A street urchin them born on this day , them , nameless
Not a prince among them , them born this day , just the one
