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!

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