Witchcraft

Witchcraft....
Some champion this idea
As they sell this notion....Sold!
Novel though, it is definately not
A twist of lime perhaps
To contemporize its design
Unto the times....
Always, evolving and adapting
This ancient one!
Although his days as of late
Have been somewhat frantic
Chaotic, to say the very least 
Desperation....
As the sands of his millenniums
Quickly, disappear from within his vile!
Schreechingly he shouts
While the bells of his sorrow
They begin to toll....
Taking hold, of all that he may, receive?
Clinging, to his very own hopelessness
Which he himself, long ago, misconceived
Trapped in this crustic bottle
Wailing and gnashing
These crumbling teeth
Slinging his far away dust
Fading....
Upon the wake, of his worthless broomstick
Worthless, to the eyes, that can truly see!?
Beyond all of these his lotions
That have chained so many
To the concepts....
The longings....And the beliefs....
The potions, that made him, their king!

john, that really long note you put here(it goes SO FAR over to the right, nobody can see that this poem is actually about Satan unless they scroll over to it for a long long time. that is how I finally was able to read all its contents. Now I will go over there again to do the Captcha thing and get this sent! have a great niight. I really liked this. andrea

hey I don't see any comments below mine. I don't understand your "note" John. What was it referring to? for me I got a sense this was about Satan. Did i get it or not??? gosh, I sure hope so becuase then I think this is an awesome approach to that topic! haven't seen you in a while! I am glad to have seen this one.LUv, Andrea
