Daji the Posessed

This poem is the story of the Da Ji a Chinese maiden who was believed to be posessed by a fairy fox unwillingly in a time of despair, or to be a fox herself either way 
She later become the consort to emperor Zhou of the Shang and was put to death for being a treasonous witch and for enchanting the king. 

DaJi the posessed 
--------------------------------------------------------
Heart of chaos in my breast
Burn all evils and repress all ill
Under the jade eyes of heaven and the seven star princesses
Let this heart of chaos be changed and blessed

Heart of chaos heard my cry
Stole my body
Loved ones died 
So i beg of thee
Help me be free
Jade emperor
And star princesses
Bless this heart  and repress  all ill

Under the eyes of heaven 
I take this pill deadly poison 
to end this suffering 
while I still possess my will
