Structured Mayhem
She was a chaotic question
In a paragraph poorly structured
Accumulated frenzy of congestion
As if the author's soul ruptured
Her answer remained uncertain
Merely a fragment of a thought
The truth behind a curtain
A riddle that wouldn't be caught
About 3 lines on a page full of words
Swallowed up by an entire book
Her presence fell short of down right absurd
Readers questioned the space she took
But a meaningful message should be unveiled
From this girl who came up short
Fragments of knowledge that she wield
Intentional structure, she would distort
If she spoke for majority
And devalued the subject
Perhaps more authority
But her purpose, she would neglect
A beautiful concoction of structured mayhem
Finding herself lost in a realm of language
Mary is lost and she, the little lamb
Thirsty for knowledge while drowning in anguish
