Ode to SOE- a Daughter’s story

a Daughter’s Story

Time is money, money is power

And you can’t buy time, so there’s strength in every hour

Every minute every second is a chance to plant the seeds and empower

The soil with riches and nourishments so that the shoot can tower

And blossom forth a spring flower

Illuminate it with rays so that it can hold its head high and not cower

In the face of adversity

The corruption that this world brings, illusions of diversity

It’s all a puppet show with the ventriloquist’s hand guiding

Influences from all sides allows the bees to slide in

To flowers DMs and pollinate her with seeds of self doubt

Seduced by his stripes and sting she loses the bout

The weeds now begin to sprout

As she descends they mock and flout

Her voice weakens no one can hear her desperate shout

No cries will be heard, mirroring the fallen petals is her only clout
