Array ( [sid] => 132887 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => The Witch Hunt [time] => 2007-03-20 03:35:38 [hometext] => Life can sometimes be hard. Sue x [bodytext] =>


They have took me captive
They have imprisoned me
No more a chance or reason
To be the person who I be

They threaten me with the gallows
They shout how I am wrong
They took all of my confidence
Where once I was so strong

And when they question me
They try so hard to make me falter
And when I become bamboozled
They strap me to this altar

They taunt me with venomous tongue
They tear my goodness apart
And when I do not answer
They pierce my breaking heart

With knife so sharp they tear through me
And I am afraid they now succeed
For my soul destroyed, my senses lost
My broken heart it now doth bleed

They hunted me for no good reason
I am at a loss why they picked me
Now I face death with crying eyes.
By those who hunted me

So with eyes of good I stare at them
To see a sign of care and compassion
But all I see is hatred and greed
And once again my back they are thrashing

I am weak, my strength has gone
I am ready to face the gallows
I have no doubt, the truth will out
To those who thought me shallow

So a witch they say that I am
I will hang today they say
And all of those who blamed me
I am sure will have their day [comments] => 5 [counter] => 293 [topic] => 65 [informant] => jerseysue [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 15 [ratings] => 3 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => toughstuff )

A good bewitching moment of internal thought of how they tortured those with any spirit at all.
