Today, I stand in tear-filled silence
remembering the Salem Witch Trials
in Massachusetts in 1692 - 1693.
More than 200 people were accused
of practicing witchcraft; 20 were
executed.
It matters not our individual creeds,
political persuasions, familial heritage.
The entire concept of judgement and
punishment because another may
differ from our own belief system is
above and beyond the pale.
There are many such horrors today,
not just the witch trials of yesteryear.
Racism, anti-gay rights, kidnapping
of children, along with the thousands
of kids separated from their parents,
placed in war camp type holding cells.
Alas, I fear I don't want to live here
anymore. I don't want to be here
anymore. When, oh when, will we
come out of the dark ages and end
these horrors beyond horrors?! The
gods must tremble . . .
loathe the horrors fraught
return humane to human
getting out of dodge
