She was bred off a shell

Not to live in hell

Dawn of the first yellow ray

By the blue river bay

Birth of a tender, gentle girl

Abore a heart as pure as pearl

So perfect were those green-brown hair

Her skin so candid and fair

Eyes deep dark blue

And cheeks with a certain hue

Born with the freshness of compassion

Little did she believe in gall ration

So tender was her innocent voice

She was once the reason of our rejoice

Mortal men then walked into her life

Requesting her to keep them alive

Her aura being embellished with gold and silver

Could not let those men sleep lonely by the river

She gave them shade and shelter

But was only made to welter

Soon they stabbed her with a knife

Confining the flora of her life

Her eyes from deep dark blue

Ceded to black gloomy adieu

Those skittish Brown-green hair

Have now lost all their flair.

She still hasn’t surrendered

Before this world so self-centered

Had we been sensible

Would have realized she is invincible

The good, the bad both have perished

Amidst her fury left unleashed

Soon we’ll all be encaged

By her soul so enraged

She may be unbeatable

But isn’t unbendable

Promise her love and care

For we were unfair

She was bred off a shell

Not to live in hell
