RAVEN'S DILEMMA
Inching slowly in the thick fog and mist
She looked beautiful in her black gown
Having a gun clenched firmly in her fist
It surely was a mystery to crack down
Oh! a young lady, so simple and kind
What was forcing her, to act so blind
Invisibly, I followed her from behind
Deciding to read, her turbulent mind
Thinking of her past, the days of delight
About her baby daughter, and her plight
Totally unaware of the approaching night
Dark clouds from left, about to cover right
Now was the time, for their diffusion
Quite reflecting her mental confusion
Birds of prey were hovering around
Reminding her to ask for her pound
Gradually she moved, from grave to grave
Firming her resolution, she felt more brave
Because her husband, met a violent death
His enemies should now, face her wrath
Praying silently, bending on her knees
She felt the dead, were more at peace
When she turned towards the passage
She was overcome by a strong message
It was a loving voice, that came from near
Asking her to live with the world, and bear
Doing her duties, without shedding a tear
This changed her mind , reversed her gear
The violent thoughts, had a dramatic twist
As her mind was now, free from her hit list
Lost was her anger, and she turned so mild
She rushed back, to take care of their child
