She is rooted to her post, a true soldier dedicated to her battle
She is the farmer's vigilante
She keeps the predators at bay and the thieves cower in her presence
Her watchful eyes sink into the hearts of attackers and sends them fleeing

No matter how hard I try her hawk like eyes never lose sight of me
They follow me like heat follow the fire
Alas! she is a little more than just a scarecrow
She is fear herself
Eyes borne into my soul laying bare all the HOWS and the WHAT IFS
Making sure that I never take a chance at grasping that which I desire
