Eva, ‘Evita,’ Peron,
An inspiration to the working masses and the poor of a nation,
Immortalised in Argentinian legend,
She brought hope to a whole generation.
Rising from poverty and illegitimacy,
Elevated to First lady but the enemy of the upper class,
The higher echelons of society denounced her,
They declared her vision for Argentina a farce.
Cancer destroyed her in the end and her zest and passion for life,
On her death, an eternal light and flame in Argentina died,
Her life continues to fascinate all around the world.
‘Evita,’ on the stage and silver screen you are revived.
