Still remembering Joan. This one is for all you Ladies battling demons and mighty enemies...

DEADLY AMBITION

Joan alone

Stood between 

The Gods of Life 

And the stark 

Stony bones 

Of unholy war 

Joan alone 

Heard 

The lustful groans 

Of the Death Angels 

Mingling with 

Bloody dust 

And wounded 

Moans. 

Joan alone, 

Unholy virgin, 

Tore the veil 

Shielding eyes 

Of men 

From sweet 

Yielding flesh 

Wielding 

Slashing 

Flashing steel. 

Joan alone 

Burst the mould 

Drained hearts cold 

Joan alone 

Was too bold 

Joan alone must die. 

So the English 

And the French 

Made common cause: 

Burnt the witch, 

Raised high 

The eldricht fire,

Least another angel 

Should so aspire. 

A warning: 

Think, girl, 

Stay home, 

And Joan alone 

Must die.
