Pope Joan and Joan Of Arc

Pope Joan and Joan of Arc
Mysterious women 
Both known 
For their parts

For hundreds of years
Hidden by history
But time would reveal
What some would not let be

Women dressed like men
Having Divine reason
Chosen by God
Each in her season 

The Thirteenth and Fourteenth centuries
Is where each lived
Did one know the other
Or was another life lived

Saint Hood and disgrace
Would divide
Their purpose in life
In which the one lied 

The other a warrior
Undisguised
Making France what it is
Though a martyr died

History still hides
What men would divide
Why was it disgrace
For a woman in that place

But the two yet different
Are still the same
What they did back then 
Has the same name

We now ask the question
Why a Saint and the other a shame
We now look to God 
Who has given it a name
