HEROIC PRINCE

Challenges are chances

To change the future

If Challenges come

There is demand for change

I thought as much

Had it been

I was non challant

About the future

It would have been disastrous

And time consuming

To amend

The mistakes of the past

I have a story to tell

A pathetic one indeed

That had triggered humanity to fight

And stimulated the atmosphere to danger

What a Heroic Story

Of a dear mighty Prince

Who is a Genius

But has a “But” to settle

People misunderstood him

But in spite of the insignificant issue

He presses the button on

Until a cross over is achieved

Princes have travailed

But yours is with a unique difference

What a mighty prince

That has change the story

Come o ye people of the land

Let us celebrate our prince

The goal scorer

The favorite citizen

The price beater

And unforgettable Hero

Princes are giants

But you are the giants of all

We congratulate you prince!
