Margaret Dared

Margaret dared to poke the bear She thought she was so smart With eyes of coal; she lacked a soul And shot him straight through the heart She sat and laughed at what she’d done Because she thought she was smarter than everyone She played the victim and tried to sway the stares and talks of what people would say When his family discovered what she had done; their fight for justice had begun So she packed her belongings and fled out of town In the middle of the night, not making a sound But it was too late, they already knew All the things that she did do You can run, you can hide But you’ll never get away The truth always wins; we know what you did...and prison awaits your stay.
