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.
