never able to love and obey

always going her own way

damn fiddler to pay

every day

own



wielding machete, she hacked her way

all would-be white knights, she slayed

damn fiddler to pay

everyday

sown



now body worn out and hair of gray

feet planted in self-made clay

damn fiddler to pay

every day

lone
