Fearing a Darkness Without Leopards

"She would never ever feel foreign..."

She would never ever feel foreign
For she hoped to rise and reign
Taking on one maniac after another
She fought nobly as a true mother

Her parents had settled in the land
And crowned it their beloved sand
They had faced naked discrimination
Which only served to be her inspiration

Her husband was a son of an immigrant
He always felt people were malignant
He had an abnormal and irrational fear
That saw him carry a hidden light spear
