Rise of The Empire of Face
Inspired and attributed to the Actress Gloria Swanson
At the start, flown bright a Swan so Pure!
During the rise, yet fall of an empire of Face.
Feathered downy dress and jewels adorn her,
Who should see fame infect the human race.
...The Camera's are Rolling
During the rise, yet fall of an Empire of Face.
A swan song dancing in grey motion couture,
Who should see fame infect the human race.
And as a lens grew clear, a camera became obscure.
The image is falling...
A Swan song dancing in grey motion couture.
The worlds ballrooms began to fill with a different taste.
And as a lens grew clear, a camera became obscure,
Making The Picture of Sacred life shutter in it's disgrace.

One of the first prominent actresses to take the scene in this, i beleive was Miss Gloria Swanson.
The rhyme scheme is that of a pantoum, and is made because....
