“To Be a Princess”

“To Be a Princess”

Many would think to be grand

She who was designated lived a life

Tortured by a dysfunctional system

And expectations of an obsessed public

Who thought they knew her

Driven mad by smothering traditions

And outdated rituals

She died so young in a tunnel

Hounded by paparazzi

A mere mortal not a Goddess

oh wow, thing is honey, royalty, or lady is a b***h. All first Ladies can't do certain things, and live in affliction and hoard. It causes me much dismay, but we are Democracy, and Ideal still to pinnacle, great read hon, :D

Poor Diana, such a sad turn of events, it’s certainly not all it’s cracked up to be living in the public eye, a thought provoking poem G.A.Bernard.
