Notes About The Poem

Evita

EVITA

Maria Eva Duarte de Perón -
her husband rocked her world - seed sown.
Argentina's sordid saint -
the First Lady’s wake caused them to weep and faint.

Evita met her husband, Juan Perón, after an earthquake. She was known for her “Rainbow Tour” of Europe. She was finely dressed and gave money to the poor. Protesters in Switzerland threw stones and tomatoes at her. She died from cancer when she was 33 and running for vice-president. Madonna played the part of Evita in movie of the same name.
