The Widow's Plight

Wondering at the sight of summer and noon 
The window dive at pasture's womb.
Struck by affliction
Driven by temptation 
This's how it all begun.

The uncertainty of the sun's hot 
Crafted a picture 
Which could only hurt
Woop-woop-woop,it sound everytime it's being blurt

Drowned in the sea of dilemma 
She's forced to choose a path
One coming straight from the heart,heart!
"Portray your interests over the family's wealth and let thy offspring takeover the rest"
Words of the elders Crest 

A pit with so many holes 
"Desert from us o ye foe"
Life has brought nothing but harm
Even her offspring disassociate from her arms

Life's mysteries 
A choice with diverse consequences 
"Promise you'll keep,the integrity of this story"
Words from her past sun and glory

"Concur to the will
And just be still,all you will have in plenty"
"Promise to keep the integrity of this story"
Every night she's forced to faced these,even in her dreams 

As the year round
She's left with no kidney 
A heartless mother 
She's called all right within 
Words speaking only tears 

As the sunlight fades
She then decides to give everything just for her grave
A beautiful mother she wants to be named 

The elders Crest as she approach
A purpose to let down,all that opposed 
She stands at the witness's box
"She's finally going to agree" whispers the eldest of her offspring 
A thought it's a good will

"Everything shall now be over" whispers the elders to each other
As she looks the face of the chief's head
For behold,the face of her morning glory,she sees "are you really going to destroy all this?" All she heard from his lips

A dillematic position,she stands 
A plead to make a decision and remove her hands 
Dangerous-safe
Safely-dangerous
As they stands

Eagered face
Wanting to see the end of the race 
And she falls in dismay 
"They'll come back for you,just wait"
The last words of her morning beauty 

A mother with no children,she's seen
"Let me say my last words" as she weeps
"Just remember it hurts so much,a widow fighting just for your hearts" as she speaks to her offspring 

It all ends in mysteries
