"HAPATIA SMARTEST 
WOMAN TO HAVE GRACED 
EARTH"

     by Judy Joy Jones



Hypatia
we shed tears
of blood for you
smartest woman
to have graced earth

your lifes works
destroyed by fire

but your name
in history
has just begun
and is etched forever
in the eternal book
of life

your fate 
laid in the
hands of 
a jealous monk

watching 
young people
gather round
drinking in your
every word
his hatred 
grew

and he sent
an angry mob
to destroy you

hypatia
we shed tears
of blood for you
smartest woman
to have graced earth

your lifes works
destroyed by fire

but your name in history
has just begun
and is forever etched 
in the eternal book
of life

Hypatia
smartest woman
to have graced earth
your name lives on
forever more
