Matriarch

Successor with privilege
female society
leadership uncompromising

instinctive protection

temptation too great...
with storm she attacks
fear akin with hate...

secret chambers inaccessible
competition gruesome...

genetic overdrive...

her enemy she will not hate...
her enemy she will embrace...
her enemy she will overcome...

natural born warrior...

her child she will shield...
her power she will wield...

...her child will survive...
...her child she will ever protect
with uncompromising pride...
