The Cry of Salem

The Cry of Salem

A Poem by LawrenceRaybon
"

An Acrostic Rondelet

"
Execute them!
Xyloid gallows we'll erect and
Execute them!
Cut away our shared sorrow's stem!
Unfeeling witches, by their hand,
They taint and twist and trash our land!
Execute them!

Please note I was writing this 'in character' from the perspective of the people of Salem during the witch trails. This is not my actual opinion, some of my best friends are witches!
