And She Bravely Fought

A drop of blood

Fell on the mud

As she shed a lone tear

Her body dropped as she was,

Lead out of the door

And soon like the others

She was no more

Her family was torn apart

War and bloodshed ripped,

Apart every kind heart

The people were beaten,

Cut and whipped

Until from every man at least,

A drop of blood dripped.

Every day pain and torture,

Suffered she

Until her heart was filled with misery.

Every day she prayed to thee

That one day her country,

Would be free

Then finally come the fateful day

When the forces clashed,

In the month of may.

A warrior entered on a white horse

Standing tall admit the lying corpse

The way he fought,

The way he walked,

Gained admiration among people’s thoughts.

Praised was he for his kind eyes and smiles

His bravery was known for miles and miles

He was known as a legend

To make history

However to everyone

His face was a mystery

Finally towards the end of the May

The battle was to end that day

A hundred soldiers charged at him

But he fought he way

Through thick and thin

All of a sudden the battle stopped

All of a sudden his armour dropped

Everyone let out a gasp

For it was a WOMAN

Under man’s mask

Her lovely long blonde hair

With her eyes made a perfect pair

Before she hit the ground

She said

“Fight for freedom until you all are dead”

Her eyes held sorrow, grief and pain

As she remembered the enemy’s chain

The chain of pain and suffering, they had caused

Until every good man’s life was lost

A drop of blood

Fell on the mud

As she shed a led a lone tear

Her body dropped as she was led out of the door

As soon as the others

She was no more.
