An Inspirational Act

 

Curtains kissed

To every cheering face I had taken a bow

Claps and hoot had calmed down now

As I saw the face in front of me

Wretched, old and ugly as can be

The sadness in her eyes of many loses

Battles she had fought explained all the bruises

Death walked beside her, now holding her hand

Sons of her own womb had betrayed her land

It was time for her rest before the next act

Tomorow’s papers would carry her abstract

Being her, History’s Queen was a huge task

My real face peeked behind as I peeled of her mask

  1. this touched a deep cord, didnt know what u had in mind when u wrote it, but i percieved it as either a stage play about someone famous person(mostly anyone would) but also the life death and ghost of a person leaving her body behind towards the bright light...nice..
