Paying the greatest price...
by Kyriea
Age Group: Adult
“You!” the young girl shouted
As fear from her mouth spouted
“You did this to me!
She’s evil! Can’t you see?”
“Oh my poor, dear child
What has caused you to go wild?”
She points and then falls down
Body shaking on the ground
She has pointed at you
You think “What did I do?”
The townsfolk meanwhile
Are preparing for your trial
You’re taken off to jail
And your hopes begin to pale
There are others like accused
As this witch hunt now ensues
Just yesterday someone died
Now there’s nowhere left to hide
The day has finally come
And the trial has begun
The accusations fly
You think “Why do they lie?”
“They know that I’m not bad.
Have they all gone mad?”
The girls again do say
That you haunt them night and day
They say they know for fact
With the devil you made a pact
And you gave them such a fright
They’re afraid to sleep at night
Again you do say NO
That this has not been so
That you are truly good
It’s all misunderstood
The court now hears no more
You are led out of the door
Back to your cell
Now only time will tell
The time it went too quick
And the verdict made you sick
The court now has deemed
You’re a witch so it now seems
And now you are to die
From a branch way up on high
Your pleas carry no weight
As they set your fateful date
The day it comes too soon
And as the sun sees noon
You are led to a tree
Where everyone can see
Now you feel the rope
As it’s placed around your throat
You look around again
Hoping to find a friend
But you are alone
You begin to sob and moan
The moment now is here
The moment that you fear
And now you hear the call
You feel yourself then fall
The rope has now gone tight
You struggle and you fight
For one more gasp of air
Then you cease to care
And as the world does fade
The greatest price you paid.....
Author's Notes: This was written one night when I couldn't get to sleep. Almost like automatic writting. By the time I actually stopped to read what I wrote I was pretty blown away. Even after all these years it still sends a shiver down my spine.
Enjoy
Blessings
