Hypatia

Did you dare be a beautiful thinker  And make peace with your sin?  Did you dare be a woman in disbelief  Of another man's god? Did you dare gain their attention Through thoughts you wouldn't rescind? Did you dare beguile the masses  And let them reveal their own evil plot? Hypatia Easier to want you in stone than in flesh Hypatia Easier to champion if you were a man  Hypatia Easier to love you now that you are dead Did you dare go your own way home Across a path that you forged? Did you dare be a friend to the fiending Just to lose to their passions for crime? Did you dare fill the shoes of your father And then fill them again? Did you dare conjure up calculations  That made the dark magic void? Hypatia Easier to want you in stone than in flesh Hypatia Easier to champion if you were a man  Hypatia Easier to want you in stone than in flesh Hypatia Easier to champion if you were a man  Hypatia Easier to love you now that you are dead
