young lovers at st paul's by phil harrold from flickr

Alfie
A13 years old boy
Knowing nothing about the world
The intricacies of life too

Yet it doesn’t stop him
He becomes a father so soon
Maybe he learns about honey and bee
Maybe he knows there is no such thing

So in his mind of romance
He fathered a child aged 13
Alfie the world looks at you
Still in school learning algebra
I know it is hard to understand

Reporters came
Writing it up in front page news
Alfie you got your fame
But the world is looking at you
