Extract

 

Scapegoat

 

I saw the photo of the unfortunate Andrew Mountbatten Windsor

Hunched back in the seat of a police car with the camera’s glare.

And he looked like a frightened rat about to be slaughtered.

I do not sympathise with who he is, but he has been made a scapegoat.

By Donald Trump and a bunch of redacted American playboys

Who want to point the finger at foreign nationals to deflect blame?

For everything they have done and will continue to do

We only tear our constitution to pieces because we are stupid.

And we fall for what the media tell us time and time again.

The like of royalty, rock stars and celebrities have always been like this.

Once you have a certain level of wealth this is how you behave

It’s all wrong but they are only coming down on Prince Andrew

And he is just the same as the rest of his overprivileged circle.

And he is not going to point the finger at others because of his guilt.

So, he will have to face the music and hope his luck changes over time.

Whatever he has done and is guilty of I do not like the way they have treated him.
