1700's

by Grotesque Angel   Nov 20, 2005


Saints not sinners do us in,
Burning us beyond the skin,
Faith in that which don't exist,
Purging us with iron fist

Trial is a sided fight,
We will be dead by end of night,
Removing us like a cancer,
Now we'll see the starlit dancer

Light the torches,
Tie the knots,
Pile the bodies,
Load the shots

Whichever way our death might come,
Next day you'll see a crimson sun,
Throw the ashes to a ditch,
What it takes to be a witch

    I absolutely love this one.
    Great words and rhymes as always, but what I really love is the topic. I've never read a poem on this topic before, and it interests me.
    Very imaginative and dark. Keep writing
    5/5

    Wow, that was very surreal, but I guess that's how a witch burning must have been in the 1700s, 5/5.
    Thank you for your comment on my poem, I've always thought Hell sounded much more fun than Heaven haven't you?
    Great poem!
