The Taking
SeanConnery

Mary believed in the taking.
 1
She bowed to the man
 2
Who struck her and said
 3
She was wrong
 4
She was tired
 5
She was late
 6
She was slow.
 7
 
Mary believed in the taking,
 8
And when she drove the sharpened steel,
 9
Honed fine in her hours alone,
 10
Into his chest and felt the hot blood
 11
Spread over her trembling hands,
 12
She knew without self-pity
 13
She was wrong
 14
She was tired
 15
She was late
 16
She was slow.
 17
 
But there are times that justice
 18
Cries for a revolution,
 19
And this was one of those.
