Dead Diana

She is dead at the hands of what?
This PR exercise?
This assassination by hidden conspiracy?
Establishment enemies?
History?
.

She is dead at the hands of what?
A camera flash gun?
A drunken no-one?
An assassin's moment?
A Queen's smile?
A wannabe King's nod?
.

Who will rid me of this treachery?
Who will wash the hands of British complacency?
Who will free my people from slavery?
Who will take them by the shoulders
To shake them like stupid children?
Who dare awaken them?
.

She is dead at the hands of what?
Knee jerk reaction?
Shock at a pretty face crushed?
Rushed by reporters?
Dead at a camera flash?
Smothered by working class sympathy
for a stupid playboy pet girl?
.

The British people die at the hands of public relations
The world press conspire in the slaughter of a nation's dignity
One more Royal conspiracy
One more elitist tragedy in the hands of aristocracy
Yet more racism in the hands "better bred" than yours or mine
Oh, at a deeply personal level I am saddened by the tragic death of any living thing
No less the death of this stupid princess
