No fan of the dauphin  
she struggles for France  
while battling voices within

Not even a coffin  
when given a chance  
they burn her for her will to win

And dead, she's no threat  
they make her a saint  
a symbol of country and god

they send their regret  
and damn with praise, faint  
the war, it was won, was it not?

so now she's Saint Joan  
it seems more "correct"  
though medical doctors dissent

long gone is the throne  
she fought to protect  
I wonder if she would assent
