"Crisis in Oz"
I watched him draw her in
With his easy ways
His trap closed around her
Tightly he clasped her inexperience
To his hungry chest
As greedily he sucked
The youth from her being
For a brief whisper
The middle age which ate upon his mind
Was stilled into silence
By her sacrifice
Better to have snuffed her light
Burning brightly and quick
Than to have stolen her pearl...
