An Enigma

(The Death of Mrs. McDermott)

Here ye, here ye the battle is about to begin

Between Mrs. McDermott and Ms. Thompkins

A fight to the end

Ms. Thompkins on one side clothe in strength, femininity, and grace

Mrs. McDermott on the other clothe in depression, despair, and disgrace

Take arms you warriors, so the battle can begin

Mrs. McDermott was aggressive as she started the attack

But Ms. Thompkins was clever; you see she had a counter-attack

She moved exceedingly swiftly and smooth with out lack

She pushed Mrs. McDermott with optimism against her back

Mrs. McDermott was startled but did not sway

She came at Ms. Thompkins with envy and hate

The crowd couldn’t believe the anger they saw in Mrs. McDermott’s face

What happen to this woman what made her this way

The battle raged on, both warriors an expert in their field

Mrs. McDermott with negativity and Ms. Thompkins with her optimistic appeal

Both were exhausted, but each standing strong

It was an intense battle; I guess that’s why it is taking so long

Oh wait, look can you see

Ms. Thompkins must got her second wind

She just displayed and amazing burst of energy

She just punched Mrs. McDermott in her face with awareness

Then she kneed her in the stomach with self-respect

Ms Thompkins just stabbed Mrs. McDermott with self-confidence multiple times in her chest

Mrs. McDermott collapsed with tears in her eyes

Pleading with Ms. Thompkins to let her survive

But Ms. Thompkins just started to kick her

With dedication and discipline, in her side

She bent down and whispered in Mrs. McDermott’s ear

She said it loud enough that some could hear

This is my life and you are welcome here no longer

With that said, she choked Mrs. McDermott with truth and honor

Now Mrs. McDermott lay dead

The last glimpse in her eyes were filled with dread

A new champion and the crowd was pleased

A woman who understands her destiny

This poem is an enigma as you can see

Because it is about the death and renewal of me
