Almost a century of life, for her,
Seven decades as a ruler,
Having lived through upheavals,
Political and economic battles,
She was renowned for her strength
As a woman in a man’s earth,
Running the world from her
Ivory tower as a great power.
All she does is well documented
By history, media, family, that’s reported
With an eye for scandal,
And everything that’s amoral.
With her death comes younger blood,
Is it better, I wonder? They flood
Their position with new vision
That takes time, patience, and revision.
What will they bring to the table,
That’s enlightening and favorable
For the people?
