Salem Girls

Salem Girls

They are so excited

And they like the feeling

Demons inside tells them to scream

Hang, hang, hang

They hear voices

Madness pursues them like a confession

They continue to scream

Die, die, die

As the door begins to open

The devil inside 

Tells them to burn

Their blood daughters

I Love this. Being that I have visited Salem almost yearly for the entirety of my life, written about the history of Wicca, and my dad dated a descendant of someone who has been hanged in one of the witch trials.... my interest takes me everywhere it would seem. : ) Really beautiful poem. I expected to see some sort of boring text, maybe a copy/paste of something familiar, but that is not what I have read. I read a poem that is not only beautifully written in rhyme and with a most curious beat to it "surely from the enthusiasm of writing on such a topic", I enjoyed this poem of yours!! Gorgeous words... I could pick this apart, unfairly, for it would only confuse my very comment of how I would wish to stumble across this again. Not many people know that when these ladies "and some were men" were hanged and executed, that they were left there for hours to stink and fester in the wind and sun. Most who hung around got to go home with "souvenirs" to burn in their fires and of the like. Someone would be appointed to cut off pieces of the body of the one hanged and pass them out to those who wished to go home with such a thing. The same thing happened to those African American citizens in our own country when they were hanged in the South for centuries. Pictures and documents on having their bodies hung, cut apart while hanging and passed out or burned on a pire when taken down.... are horrific in nature and actual. Beautiful poem, wonderful enthusiasm for writing a piece that got someone to comment that doesn't even have his own poems on here anymore, and stunning profile pic!! lol ...pulled me in. : ) xxox

I am Wiccan so I can relate to this. Its short and powerfull.

This is abstract with different possible interpretations. I seems like it's about anguish while giving confessions. I don't know if this has a political background like most of your work does, but whoever the victim is, he or she sure is in an obscure position. Pretty good for a quick sketch.

[SquinklaPsyOps]

Yes, I now know what you mean about being political, the new borns in California are in a confusing position because the obscure commander in chief approved gay marriages in California.

I personally think that he's a morally upright man; politics can force you to do or agree with things you don't necessarily agree with. That doesn't make him a hypocrite though. It takes a prophet or a dauntless man of God to abide to words of God, caring less about what others think, say, or judge. When it comes to morals, I don't have a gray shade, and admit to be a sinner, but there are line I cannot cross, or people certain people I do not acquaint myself with.

Salem witch trials. Very sad period in time and to me it just blows my mind. Blessed be miss. )o(

[SquinklaPsyOps]

Yeah, it was really wrong what they did to the Salem girls, it was a tragedy the psychic world will never forget, because if a case goes to court and the defense claims an evil voice made them do it is not valid.

[FlatLineBeauty]

I've always believed that evil was a man made concept. I mean if you think about it, evil truly is. We are the ones who think of evil things to do, evil is just the label for some of the horrible deeds.

[SquinklaPsyOps]

This part is gold
"We are the ones who think of evil things to do" and you are right there is a lot of evil persons out there that think they could get away with censoring Freedom Of Religion And Freedom Of The Press. If they were or they weren't they had no right to mistreat them that way.
