"Burn Her! Burn Her!" I hear the awful cries I feel emptiness inside Watching it Watching this Procession to the fire Hands tied Thrust forward The "witch" is soon to burn "By the devil she'll be claimed" I watch I cry But I would rather die My life She burns A salty ocean are my eyes I hear the awful screams I listen Ears burn When they took her, where was I? A coward I hid While hunters tied her arms Marched my life to the fire Still now Her eyes She cries no more |

"No more burning years..." I thank you for this...for "those who do not remember history are condemned to repeat it." And as we near the sabbat of Lammas, on this day of a second eclipse in one moon's cycle...I thank you, so I will not rant...I simply say, "blessed be." wiccan crede: "and as ye harm none, do what you will..." |

You have surely outdone yourself with this one! This is just sooo good. I would like to vote for it! You sum up so many negative human emotions here. How many of us would truly have the guts to get up and say: Stop! In such a situation. I don’t know if I would ... Lotharingia "Dreams are life, reality, creation" Miguel de Unanumo |

This piece speaks to so many holoucosts throughout history. It is very well phrased. If everyone could read this, perhaps humanity would become more humane. 'Never again the burning' I hope so.

And most of those so called witches weren't witches at all, merely healers (doctors or nurses in today's world), so sad, and another example of how cruel mankind can be.. How scared mankind is of one who is different... Wonderful thought provoking work here hon.. great stuff I'll tell you this...... No eternal reward will forgive us now for wasting the dawn..... ~Isis~ (Goddess - Sovereign of the Spirit) |

Really enjoyed reading this poem, it is amazing what terrible things we will do in fear. In way we continue to condemn those we do not understand. A lot of food for thought. "I am melancholy, flower cutting through stone" manic street preachers |

..."can you feel, feel the burning of the witches? The death of thier herbal dreams, and the silence of their healing wishes?!!" This is exquisite!!! "There is an alter ego which dwells in every soul..." a-alibaster "I am as I am, nothing more, nothing less, I am tears of pain, tears of Death. |
