"Life's Not All Peaches and Cream"

It seems life wasn't Peachy
Despite what it said on the tin
Not so full of beans
Seems she's done herself in.
It might be unfair
To pass judgement
But that's what we do
As she shared her life
In the tabloid zoo.
I'm not one to point
A finger of blame
But what chance did she have
With such a stupid name?
Leaving her daughter behind
Phaedra Bloom Forever
With the other Astala Dylan Willow
Showing she wasn't too clever.
Poor old Fifi & Peaches
Sounding like a pampered pooch
Can you blame her if she
Turned to something stronger than Hooch?
The country's in shock
A media scrum
What chance did she have
What with her dead mum?
Saving the world
Her dad went off to roam
While his daughter
Was feeding her habit
Closer to home.
If he didn't like Mondays
They just got worse
Your baby has ended up
In an undertaker's hearse.
I shouldn't jump to conclusions
Might not be down to drugs
But isn't that exactly what YOU do
When it's inner city gangsta thugs?
Stabbed or shot
They're all the same
Those nasty black boys
Only got themselves to blame.
But poor little Peaches
Such a sad upbringing
That what all the mourning public
Are today totally singing.
As if her life
Seems worth so much more
Than a boy from Brixton or Peckham
Who grew up behind a council estate door.
It's not that I've no heart
Or simply don't care
I'm just so angry
Griping how it's unfair
That the same sympathy
For what you call 
Working class criminal scum
Is never out there.
So forgive my lack of concern Fifi Trixibell
 Now without little sister
Condemned to your living hell
As for Daddy Geldof
He tried to save the world
A shame he wasn't so concerned
About his own little girl.

Dulwich Poet 8th April 2014

(Peaches Geldof, daughter of pop star & charity fundraiser Bob Geldof, died yesterday. It's not know yet if was an overdose, suicide, or tragic natural causes. I have no real thoughts on here, I did not know her, & whilst it is sad, it does not affect me. I am contrasting the reaction to her death to those of the many teenagers murdered each year by their fellow teenagers, whether gang related or not)
