Displeased with an unjust aristocracy, my
Ill-at-ease, combat-boot, pistol packing protagonist
Saddles her bag and crosses a moonlit bridge leading
Away from her dystopian
Society ravaged with politicians
Touting equality and proposing
Remedies riddled with ambiguities, my
Outraged protagonist flees iniquity for
Utopia where the populace matters not just a
Shameful wealthy few
