Eleanor's Innocence

" Burn and die! Punishment from HIGH! " Chanted the pitiless crowd while the fire engulfed her lean and bruised body stung by a large bee; " Eleanor is not a PRINCESS! " "She's an imposter! " Another voice rose loud: " Witches aren't Christians! " A priest flashing a cross made from wreaths incited them, then all engaged in vile chant to avenge a wickedness never done; " I am a Christian and I'm BLESSED! " Never did I such evil deeds! " But one with a torch in his hand challenged her tossing a long bone, " This is what you will become of you...a witch who brewed herbs and seeds!" " No ! " She defended herself, " It was the medicine to cure your sick baby! " " My death will hunt you and put a curse on your children and teens! " Eleanor emitted a forced scream being suffocated by smoke and fire, " KING, come and save your young lover who tended to your manly needs; why has pity dwindled in you? " Have lies diminished the LIGHT of truth, so blithe, by not letting this GEM sparkle in your domineering sight? Have I lost all hope? " Stop their cruel chanting! Never will I remain silent, unless I'm unable to breathe! " And leaning her head forward without STRENGHT, as if death had already come , " Why is INTELLIGENCE taught in a SCHOOL of learning, what good is it without wisdom?" " The bad witches hide in their RETREAT...while this good one is being burned alive!" Entered in Mystic Rose's contest, " Plucky By Nine " Written by Andrew Crisci on 3/1/2015/
