My Fair Lady

My Fair Lady . So there she stood, in all her glory, Majestic in her might, Elegance was her story, Elevated to indict, . Far removed from tribulation, Yet connected to its trials, But upon closer examination, You could see the cruelty within her smile, . For Oh-since-long had I now watched, And Oh-since-long had I desired, Prayed for the day when she would stop, And find her place right by my side, . For Oh-since-long was worth the fight, And Oh-since-long was worth my life, I couldn’t bear to be without her, Why should I now be denied? . But a time would come when some would claim, That they could take her & reshape her, Refashion her another name, That the miscarriages made would shame her, . They created statues in her honour, In attempt to frame her as a stranger, That my love would no longer be needed, And the games they played would change her, . Now she carried the sword of vengeance, As she held the scales of truth, She wore a blindfold so that the pretence, Of the imbalances were kept from view, . Yet she could only be just who she was, And I could only be just who I be, For she was my sweet fair lady Justice, And I was her......Equality, . . mr gee © 2011
