AS YOU WERE BORN

As you were born so you will be,
A weed in the forest or a dominant tree.
You may well become King or just a poor man
In a demeaned downtrodden despicable clan.
Whatever you are, be proud of the fact,
For it is never successful to put on an act,
And if you don't stand up and fight for your right
Then you'll always be ignored in the shade out of sight.
For the biggest tree in the forest is the one that is seen,
Not the elegant young saplings that hide in between.
And remember you'll always have a purpose in life,
To overcome the foul bigots that cause all the strife.
So stand up and be what you were born here to be,
And to Hell with the fools who do not agree.

AS YOU WERE BORN
