Lament For Greta

LAMENT FOR GRETA

Her reaction was spontaneous as of youth
With emotion’s certainty near tangible
Sought to patronize and brook no other truth
Revelation that she knew must be infallible

Through the portal of the ether her word spread
She would navigate with skill above her league
Little known beyond fixation in her head
She was just a puppet in a great intrigue

Twelve years on should Earth still flourish spite all strife
Will she bless not curse that vapour that brings life

Good question! We can ask the same question of the redoubtable 'AOC' here in America. Thanks, Geoffrey. :) Gershon
