Marjorie in her garden
On a corner of the estate
Planting seeds in the fertile soil
So they can germinate

Dreaming she's not indentured
Working just for herself
Marjorie's seeing visions
But not of fame or of wealth

She looks like she couldn't
Even hurt a fly
But there's more to Marjorie
Than meets the eye
Marjorie is biding time

She could be writing poems
But she's working on her list
A proscription that gives her every
Reason just to exist

The lords who always were looking
The vassals who crossed the line
The clergymen who were lechers
The king- the worst of his kind

So she trains her body
Her heart like anthracite
To show everyone who said
She couldn't be a knight
Marjorie was always right

Marjorie the time has come
Marjorie the deed is done
Marjorie will never bow to anyone

She didn't fit with tradition
So she hollowed out a space
With an axe she forged all by herself
A crossbow and a mace

A sharp blade of obsidian
With a handle of human bone
Delivered straight to oblivion
The king upon his throne

Marjorie was tired
Of always playing nice
Dismantling a system
Takes a sacrifice
Marjorie knew what would suffice
Only one thing would suffice

So now the castle is empty
The banners all are stripped
It's as quiet as a cloister
And as haunted as a crypt

She maintains her religion
She says her prayers at night
To God -but God the woman
There's no one more contrite

Sleeping on a feather bed
Her face so young and fair
With a dagger in her pocket
A flower in her hair
Marjorie is dreaming there

Marjorie doesn't need
Anyone or anything
Marjorie is planting seeds
Marjorie
