Driving Through Salem

Witches motto is to do no harm to plants or animals Ill understood they continue to positively garden and uplift They were unfairly persecuted and prosecuted, murdered even Christians bullied them, jealousy and fear determined their fate Hysterical preteen accused the prettiest, eliminating competition Every beautiful girl was in danger during this frenzied period of history Still feel enraged and acute sadness when I drive through Salem.

Salem got the story and has the reputation, but have you heard of Danvers??? That's the location of "Two Sovereigns for Sarah." We also saw the hanging tree there. Gave me the willies.
