THE TARGET
Gifts and talents
Identified early on
The plan to alter
Developed, til gone
Anointing perceived
Tricky intervention
Appearing helpful
Pursuing prevention
Years of abuse
Final blow dealt
Songbird silenced
Joy no longer felt
A shell of a being
Walking dead
The spark of light
Covered in looming dread
If not for LOVE
Voice could not be heard
The sacrifice of HIS blood
Delivered the TRUTH in WORD
....Sing forth O barren woman
