I Saw a Lady Cry Today
By FlatDaddy
I saw a lady cry today
and tried to offer aid,
But there was nothing I could say
to comfort this poor maid.
The woman shook from toe to head,
and cold can make one cry,
But she looked bundled up for bed,
“Are you just chilled?” said I.
She howled as if someone had died,
And sharply she barked, “Sir!”
“You come when nothing’s left inside,
“when no one came for Her!
“You, sir! Yes, you have killed the world!
“Yet stand there looking proud!”
She shook her head, her top lip curled,
She sneered then laughed aloud.
“You left my daughter dead, defiled!
“Yet say you’ve never met!
“You never dared to touch my child!”
She turned, then hissed, “And yet …”
“That is the cause of all my pain,
“so you will rue this day!”
She whispered, “It’s all been in vain,”
loosed her fire — and swam away.
Wow, this is someone you met, or were you inspired by someone to write this? She seemed so heart broken
Thanks for the input, Fia. My inspiration was the death knell sounded by Pete Hegseth and his crowd. And the Lady must be terribly heartbroken to swim all the way back to France.
You captured that emotion well
Thanks, Fia. I truly think the sharp rise in violence toward women and children can be traced to the current administration’s policies and racist bent. It’s deplorable.
Utterly disgusting, this government and its hatred…
Absolutely, and it’s getting so much worse now. I suppose Hegseth will see my Lady swimming back to France and have her bombed, too. I suppose we should erect a big hand where she once stood, with the finger directed right toward DC. Now, THAT would be appropriately Liberating!

Wow, it posted twice! Not meant to, but acceptable.
Powerful work.
Thank you, Thomas.
