Doomed

Doomed!
   She wailed and whined hopeless
   As her child laid down helpless

   But they simply stared
   While others jeered

   She is accused
   And her child is abused

 A witch she is
  He's dead for a cause not his

They lamented
As she was tormented

Hit her with that stone
For she is better gone

They said angrily
As she cried sorrowfully

Everyone turned on her
But they went far

She was framed
And tamed

They all knew her innocence
But that was no essence

For they were paid
To get her laid
