Joan Of Ark Killed By Drones Poem by Raj Dronamraju

Joan of Arc was known
Most importantly, Joan of Arc was known
They knew her from hand to hand combat
They knew her as a legend as much as a person
They knew her as one who communed with God

If Joan of Arc lived now, all that would be known is the location of her next safehouse
An unflattering black and white photograph shown on CNN
A crudely filmed video of Joan of Arc disseminating her message
Full of threats and ultimatums

In her time, she died with great drama
Burnt at the stake as a matter of public record
They'll praise her mission and make a saint out of a dead warrior

In this time, Joan of Arc is coordinates
Sold out by a compatriot and targeted by computers and predator drones
A distant flash and she along with those in proximity to her regardless of whether or not they are guilty of anything die in anonymity
