Harsha's Victory

wreathed tercets fly away statistics fly to the hindermost fly out of return reach out of death and despair out of talents wasted out of worthless put downs put down mortality put down those hapless odds put down hopeless abuse hope is Harsha's restraint hope is what gives her joy hope is her one strong suit one in her parents' eyes one who will change her world one victor named Harsha
