Ode to Scarlett O'Hara

Oh dear Ms. Scarlett,
how you've been portrayed.
You've been so misunderstood,
so people listen to what I have to say.....

Ms. Scarlett O'Hara,
from Gone with the Wind,
so many people dislike you,
because of your sins.

You were lost,
and you were confused,
that is why you had no one,
you were just used.

You had no one for you to turn,
no one would lend an ear,
Rhett didn't even want to listen,
something that started with Frankly my dear.

Well it's time Ms. Scarlett,
for the hatred of you to die.
You are a lost soul,
just searching for what is right.

You are only human,
aren't the rest of us?
So why my dear Scarlett,
are you so harshly judged?

If you look from Scarlett's eyes,
you will see a girl so lost,
you will see a girl,
whose reputation she had cost.

You will see she is just like us,
she has made many mistakes.
So let's give Ms. Scarlett a break,
So she can be human for God's sake.

To those of you who have read the book,
to those of you who have seen the movie,
that came from a different era,
please, just please take a second glance,
and the woman called Scarlett O'Hara.
