A woman of misery and hate,
doth compare to a woman of joy and love.
For her kind is cold and heartless.
While the other is warm and bright.

Do you see a similarity?
I do.
I see the woman of hate as she cries for her babe.
I see the woman of happiness laugh wickedly for the same.

Do you hear what I hear?
Do you listen to the cries of the desperate woman?
Do you listen as a baby is whisked into the cold bright light.
Do you hear its cries as it realizes the cruelty of the world,
the harshness of the day?

I see these things with a slow eye,
for I must right the wrongs of the world.
I bring a babe for every death.
And for every wrong a right.

I don't solve your problems for you,
but I help you help yourself.
I am Diana.
Protector of the girl,
of the young and helpless.

I see you who is good,
helping in my work,
cradling the crying child.
I see you who is not,
causing the tears to roll and the furious hellfires to uproar.

You cannot possibly understand,
the wrath I bring upon those who mistreat the girl, the babe, the mother.
Careful of your slew of hateful words,
you cannot wish to be a righted wrong.

Symbolic of what we are all facing these days

Nicely crafted poem with a deep message clearly conveyed. I like the image of eye since it fits in well with your avatar, but it'd be better to use 'keen' instead of 'slow.'
I like also the symbolic use of Diana - the Greek goddess of the moon/virgins/war!! Whatever,. . . . protector of the girl . . . . it is a powerful figure. But better 'does' instead of the old English, 'doth'.
The claim below is sweet in casual talk but horrible in poetry:
'I must right the wrongs of the world.' How possibly and how does one right a wrong? Be careful about using the word, right, as a verb.

good luck
