A Mammoth ‘Savior’ Of Our Common Sense Passed-On Tonight.
Let her go. We tend to
Hold fast our Best & Brightest
As if we cannot let-them-move on.
“RBG” worked hard — and long, not for herself;
But for us. We have to get-over hanging-on
To those who fight beyond their Being.
As if we can never groom another
Heroine/Hero to do those difficult
Socio-Political favors, for us.
The Honorable Ms. Bader-Ginsberg held on,
As long as she could..and almost made it
To that promising date in early November.
Though she must have been in constant pain.
Anyone might guess a small statue person as she,
Approaching the ripe older age of 90
Finally needed this escape,
If only to find her Self.
