where's the candle in the wind?
finally a sight of weary plough; not a princess or a star
our mother made us realise the vehicle that we are
crucified to duty wheel her revolution led
to others doing needed acts precisely in her stead
no she's not a pin-up girl enticing near and far
men live for their lovers; baby can I drive your car?
her shoes too worn for us to wear, we gawked from directors' chairs
annointing..... but as she is no more
we wash away her cares
