A Royal Passage Poem by SylvaOnyema (SUPER.T) Ubah
A Royal Passage
Royalty did not
Hide her humane heart
She was royal
In the eyes of the people
But loyal
To the service of the people
Indefatigable royalty
Royal ambassador
Worthy emissary
Amiable princess
Illuminating the world
Like a torchlight
Dazzling like a star
Shining bright like diamond
But in August,1997
Her beauty was arrested
By the cold hands of death
Cut off from humanity
Like a stem
Cut off from a tree
August visitor
Cruel visitor
Took her to oblivion
Our buckets full with mourning
O! Diana
Our Diana
Princess of Wales
Cherished princess of the people
Princess of the world
Sleep well Diana

...our buckets full with mourning The poet uses hyperbole here to show that the departed princess was mourned worldwide and that her lost was a shock to the world as great tears roll down.
