All The World's Attention Redux

An infant with his rattle
Receives all the world's attention.
His teetering first few steps
Garner all the world's attention.
The first time he leaves home for school
Steals all the world's attention.
By now he is accustomed
To all the world's attention.
One day soon he'll need to fight
For all the world's attention.
He'll get it, but then what to do
With all the world's attention?
Try to run, try to hide
From all the world's attention.
That twisted path can only lead
To all the world's attention.
