Fall From Grace

by Adriana Cobb - Libra

The grandeur has fallen from grace,
the elite discarded,
shattered by the reality
that their status means nothing.
Now they worry,
for in the real world
personality is what counts
and their egos destroyed that long ago.

Reason for writing:

    I was reflecting on those kids in high school that think they're better than everyone because they're rich or wear the right clothes or are a cheerleader/football player. Once they graduate, their social status means nothing.
