	Behind a Mask, The Lady

BEHIND A MASK, THE LADY  
  
SUMMARY- A poem, a eulogy of sorts. Long live the Queen!  
  
*  
  
Behind a mask, the lady weeps  
  
for nothing she does can ever keep  
  
the law from turning gold and flair  
  
into a frigid, emotionless, brutal affair  
  
Behind a mask, the lady cries  
  
because the cruelties her eyes can't deny  
  
are nothing compared to what she feels  
  
As she waits in the House of God and kneels  
  
Behind a mask, the lady screams  
  
regardless of her wealth and means  
  
the corruption continues undiminished  
  
just as she thought the affair to be finished  
  
Behind a mask, the lady yields  
  
spirit'd away to the Elysium fields  
  
but alas her fate is yet unknown  
  
and she wants not to face it alone  
  
Behind a mask, the lady loves  
  
a man who wilt not woo because  
  
he is torn between women two  
  
the truth it seems has spite him too  
  
Behind a mask, the lady hopes  
  
that one day she may unbind the ropes  
  
that tie her to humanity  
  
and thus accomplish her destiny  
  
Behind a mask, the lady stands  
  
now proud and ready to command  
  
her heart and mind all set on one  
  
dream that the battle has just begun  
  
Behind a mask, the lady prays  
  
that she will rise from where she lays  
  
and continue her fight of all things just  
  
and keep her sword until it rusts  
  
Behind a mask, the lady turns  
  
to the followers she has earned  
  
and asks for each to carry out  
  
her legacy -- the most devout
