Now Is The Time

Help me, she cried, and no one came

    Except her tormentor.

Shivers ran through her frame

    As he approached her.

Please, she cried, Don't do this to me --

    Help, she screamed, she made a plea

        For mercy.

Rape, she screamed, I'm being attacked,

But the passing drivers never looked back

There were eyes at the windows, but no one came

    Except Him.

Now is the time, she began to recite,

For all good men, she'd heard it before,

To come to the aid

   Of a Lady.

But no one came,

And eventually he left,

And she had to walk home

Alone.
