Where the dead

oak tree stands

many have died

at the hands of

the hangman!

 

Now only ghost here

reside

no place for their

souls to rest

no grave for their

bodies to lye!

 

Walking the earth

to and fro-

with a noose tight

around their necks!

 

Why they were hung

only God would know

 

Some say they were

condemned for witchcraft!

Usually burning at the stake was the punishment.

Burned, Hung, Tortured, and imprisoned. So many ways.
So many innocent lives.

Makes you feel blessed to live now - not then. Nicely done.

Yea, but the judicial system is still far from perfect.

Very different and compelling. I like this too.
