A rap about joan of arc
There once was a peasant girl from Domremy, France.
She heard voices sent from God and decided to take a chance. She went to the dauphin and asked to fight She dressed as a boy so she would be treated right She hears voices? That's heresy, this is crazy talk. She was tested and proved religious making her questioners balk. Her first battle, she must save Orleans, because England had invaded were being pretty mean. A brave leader who inspired victories across the nation The English weren't exactly filled with elation. Capturing Joan of Arc gave them reason to celebrate Let's go back to her being a heretic, she should be burned at the stake. Pope Benedict XV suddenly says, "Wait!" She's been dead for a while now he's a little bit late. "I guess I am, but I can still make her a saint." |
Joan of Arc likely was inspired by the book of Judges in the Old Testament. It contains many accounts of multiple judges leading the Israelite armies to victory through the will of God. Joan of Arc would have related her situation to the ones in Judges as she leads armies to save a people with the help of God.
"But when the Israelites cried out to the Lord, the Lord raised up a deliverer for the Israelites, who delivered them,Othniel son of Kënaz, Calebs younger brother. The spirit of the Lord came upon him, and he judged Israel; he went out to war, and the Lord gave King Cushan-rish-a-thaim of Aram into his hand; and his hand prevailed over Cushan-rish-a-thaim." Judges 3:9-10 |
