BEHIND A MASK, THE LADY
SUMMARY- A poem, a eulogy of sorts. Long live the Queen!
*
Behind a mask, the lady weeps
for nothing she does can ever keep
the law from turning gold and flair
into a frigid, emotionless, brutal affair
Behind a mask, the lady cries
because the cruelties her eyes can't deny
are nothing compared to what she feels
As she waits in the House of God and kneels
Behind a mask, the lady screams
regardless of her wealth and means
the corruption continues undiminished
just as she thought the affair to be finished
Behind a mask, the lady yields
spirit'd away to the Elysium fields
but alas her fate is yet unknown
and she wants not to face it alone
Behind a mask, the lady loves
a man who wilt not woo because
he is torn between women two
the truth it seems has spite him too
Behind a mask, the lady hopes
that one day she may unbind the ropes
that tie her to humanity
and thus accomplish her destiny
Behind a mask, the lady stands
now proud and ready to command
her heart and mind all set on one
dream that the battle has just begun
Behind a mask, the lady prays
that she will rise from where she lays
and continue her fight of all things just
and keep her sword until it rusts
Behind a mask, the lady turns
to the followers she has earned
and asks for each to carry out
her legacy -- the most devout
