Poem
A Witch must confirm the Powers in her possession Before performing an anticipated condemnation The guilty Judge, rendered immobile and speechless Wets himself, cowering, trussed and helpless As the Witch intones the Powers’ sacred Creed That she has sworn to obey and heed. “The Powers were forged when Time came to be And Passing Ages defined, refined and set free These powers to restore and dispense justice Ultimately entrusted by selection and decree Unto my ancestors in the beginning at last unto me At birth all Powers were given into my hand All Powers subject to my sole Summons and Command.” The Witch, glaring, recalls the Judge’s evil past The creature’s abhorrent madness is ending at last The Judge mercilessly burned the Witch’s mother at the stake Her only crime was her child’s safe and secret escape Ahead of a fate intended by the Judge’s abusive plan To force her daughter into ruin favored by this evil man. “Hear me, Judge, henceforth known as Evil Doer Thou committed Evil Deeds vicious and depraved Unlawfully condemning innocents to premature graves Dispensing injustice disguised as sanctioned practice Hiding with cunning and cowardice behind Robes of Justice Meting out evil for pleasure then decreeing by mouth and hand Pounding the Gavel of Authority so thy Evil Deeds would stand Thy presence befouls the world and sickens the air we breathe Thy punishment will mirror my Mother’s you so foully bequeathed.” “I Summon and Command the Judge’s committed Evil Deeds To erase all memories upon which they thrive and feed They shall create a consuming conflagration Hurling Evil Doer into obliteration Pull upright this Evil Doer so he doth stand Kneeling in repentance is denied this Sinner His Retribution is at hand. Evil Doer’s punishment shall be by FIRE No stake or ropes to hold him fast Let flames spontaneously ignite Evil Doer will suffer grievously before his demise this night Let FIRE devour and savor, let it consume and overcome Evil punished, evil devoured, Justice Is Done The Evil Doer whose presence evoked such pain and dread Is Punished. Incinerated. Destroyed. Dead.” The Witch’s head nods wearily, tears welling, falling Sighing, she whispers, “Great Evil banished, all is well The Evil Doer is finished and consigned to Hell Farewell, Dearest Mother, Rest in Peace, You have been avenged, lie easy, your torment has ceased.”
