IF one has time to be observant
(Or if one just wants to have fun)
There's nothing more amusing than
Watching trajectory of a rising son

Not that these sons are exceptional
But they progress with relative ease
And once their kith & kin are elevated
There's a sudden spike in their fees!

Attorneys queue outside the doors
Where it is a privilege now to be seen
To engage those with golden spoons
Means capitalising on reigns supreme

Milords molly-coddle favoured ones
Never interrupt with a "How" or "Why"?
They are just being very practical as
Godfathers are watching from the sky

I can't understand why some complain
With perennial whimpers and whines?
Hasn't it been our glorious tradition
To make hay while the Sun shines?
