Sharon (His Plain, His Song)...

Beleaguered  Angel
with flashing Eyes,

commanding the Troops

and brooking no compromise

but, at times, yes,

they're tired

and you can see the hurt;

for the lies

told to her face

she's had to swallow,

for those she's seen

who wallow in the degradation

and the dirt,

and the schemes

of those who "play" The System,

dreaming ever of free rides,

worse yet, the Vultures

with drooping shoulders

and bowed heads,

in their quasi-sacerdotal disguise,

trying to pluck at heart-strings

they are amazed

to still find there,

for in this faded, jaded System

she is among The Few,

she Cares...

 

Carry on,

Dear Heart,

may your resolve

never fail,

you have been more help

to more people

than you will ever believe

and this is not the end

of your Courageous Tale...
