Understanding I long

by Shana   Dec 7, 2004


Many don't understand me
And my religion
But I still feel no enmity
For this inquisition

I get used to the harassment
All the calling of unfair names
But thats just a segment
Why am I the one they blame?

I am called an evil "witch"
Everyday I come awake
Thinking people want to throw me in a ditch
Or burn me at the stake

I do not believe in a Hell
I do not worship him
I have never cast a nasty spell
The light that I see is not dim

Us wiccans believe in good will
I would never kill a single fly
I have had my fill
I will stay true to this till I die

I guess I may never win
Understanding is what I long
This is what I believe in
I will stay strong

    Yeah, so like bold effort.

    Being a Wiccan is a tough but rewarding road to chose amidst todays climte of Christianity....believe me i know..been there.

    This poem is well conceived, need some3 work in terms of how it flows i think...like a few words clipped or added in placed to make it more syllabically sound...but yeah...well done.

    Blessed be.

    excellent poem, don't let people ever talk down to you because of what you do, or don't believe. Take care, i don't know if you read my post, but I am leaving this site. I'll check in on you every once in a while. Take care, and feel free to e-mail me, I'd love to chat sometime.
