some might say
she was a beautiful girl
a peroxide beauty
shapely
but with a face that rarely smiled
and a voice
that spoke only to those she could manipulate
*
some might say
she was assertive
and that she strode thru life
making her own way unflinching
calm in her assertion
well balanced in her counterpoint domain
*
compassion and empathy was not her forte
but then why should it have been
she hadn't been taught that
in her privileged perfect existence
part of the "all is me" generation
and it had always served her well
*
some might say
she would mellow in time
and the personal carnage strewn about her
was simply the unimportant sequelae
of an unaware fractious youth
forgiven by the older and wiser among us
*
some might say
she had a careless heart
about those who might loved her more
then her debutante personality could comprehend
her value of social interaction was excessively thin
her empathetic capacity was simply arrested
*
some might say such things
as disrespect and disregard were
the poisonous bread crumbs she dropped
for the uninitiated to follow
*
some might say such things
and they would be right
