prosecuted by society
burn her at the stake

burn her at the stake
a witch in league with devil
healer’s destiny

healer’s destiny
her neighbor turned accusers
witch will burn tonight

timely piece with All Hallows creeping up ; ) well done.
Thank you.
The burning of supposed “witches” in Massachusetts was a sad time in U.S. history.
Witches
Happened here in Sweden too. Both men and women were executed. Mainly on witness from the public. In that sense the role of executioner has been taken over by the press IMHO..
It was a tragic time for women. I like how you wrote the verses, each folding into the next.
