The Duchess of Paradise

She's highly sophisticated and full of undefiled wisdom Yet a crowned Duchess in a paradise kingdom Quite a beautiful angel flying with black wings Covered in gold jewelry and precious things She dresses like the women of ancient Egyptian class Her wealth is generous and her money grows like grass She loves orange scented candles with dark room flame She rules thirty legions of soldiers and Bune is her name Her comely warrior voice can wake and relocate the dead Her armies of soldiers gather around the cemetery She is brave and deserves a princessly crown on her head Her facility of speech and flair for words is legendary A beautiful queen to be treated with respect and honor Instead of blasphemy,wanton abuse and fictional horror
