Today is a brand new day, a brand new child is born
He shall be named a first and a last
And from the last one he will never be free
For he is born in a family
He shall be given love and care
And lots of good things to help him grow
And he shall forever live indebtedly
For he is born in a family
He shall live as commanded, as demanded
And he shall act as expected
Rebel is wrong and totally frowned upon
For he is born in a family
He shall belong to a caste, a class
And a wealth-group in the society
He shall forever endeavor to sustain the affiliation
For he is born in a family
The parents shall be his role models
And he is supposed to do as they willfully agree
They may fight and choose to separate (but he has no
choice)
For he is born in a family
From the day he is born
There are things he can and cannot do
It seems as though he never is free
Since he is born in a family
