Matthew Anish Poet I do not know?

Witch Trial

Sometimes I
think we're all
     on trial
before some evil
     jury
Our sentence - life on this
planet
    Let's not fool 
ourselves
    We are all we 
have
     The accuser is 
pointing at all 
    of us
    Our defense?
   Love and patience
Let's hope 
this inquisition
   is temporary
I'd hate to 
    be on trial 
forever
     The dark lord 
is pointing at ue
  now
We stand accused 
   But with time
The darkness 
will pass
The light in the 
    distance
indicates 
      that we will 
be able to 
    defeat our nemesis
    Dance once more
Freely and without 
     shame
