Poem about a controversial British society figure, now terminally ill and being attacked twice at her death bed...

Goody
 
Goody, what’s in a name?
Merely a brand of infamous fame?
 
Could this name by proxy be
What many claim to see?
 
The ultimate contradiction in terms
A victim of society, now attacked by deadly germs
 
Causing cells to grow
Vicious characters lashing out using their final blow
 
Hear the people’s murmur
Gossiping about how she had it coming for sure
 
How easy is it not to judge?
How difficult is it not to budge?
 
It is all to easy to attack
The weak, the down and out, the wack
 
O.k. she said her wacky stuff
You should have called her bluff
 
When she was still sound of body and mind
For she still is one of a kind.
 
Jade, a precious stone
Goody, still not gone
 
With a name like that
She cannot be all that bad.

Author's Note
I am aware that Jade Goody is a controversial figure. The fact that I have written this poem does not mean I agree with Ms. Goody\'s views or quotes in the past. I wrote this poem because I believe that anybody, whoever she/he may be, is entitled to dignity during the hardest and last days of life.
I do not want ratings or rantings, I want reviews!
