Hers was not an uncalculated risk
She did not believe in magic
All the magicians
she had acquainted
no matter how impressive
she found to be tragic
A foolish pursuit
oriented to ego
When she came to power
she swore magic
would be outlawed
Illegal
Her wisdom came mainly from
old Eastern teaching
History would judge her reign
somewhere between empirical
and reaching
History has no heart to give
no heart to take
Combs over our lives
like a steel prong rake
Emotional coloring
extracted by intention
So to cushion
the ache of misfortune
