Marie

She was the queen, down in New Orleans. She had authority, and she is meant to be known. You should appreciate her, cause she is a legend. Her name is widely spoken. You can't just ignore her. I believe in her. Her strength, her power. How she helped her fellow folks, even though she was feared. A woman of color, who went down in history. who ruled the darker realms. whose mighty hands healed the sick. who called upon her ancestors for guidance. She was devout, to our God and His glory. and died doing what she loved. Visit her if you have a chance. you might see her while on the way. For she still watches over her grave, and you may witness her pet, Zombie. Leave her an offering, and you shall receive luck and blessings that day.
