St Joans Reward

The conquering child, martyred by religion’s audacity; St. Joan rides a white horse, eternally. Now bedecked in silken gown; of silvery diamonds, bestowed by Angels, she suffers no more. There’s a place for heroes and children; there’s also one for those who persecute them. Karma’s wheel never stops; for every drop of darkness that it rolls over, a spark of light is born.
