A Witch's Irony

Three witches
by one sword drawn
from heaven at the
inching of day
thrice regarded, naught
but once slain
for high treason by jury
though not of sound mind
idolatrous fancy its credo
and kind
but divine be certain mercy
oft a misnomer of fools
for whom heresy converts
in the shallowest pool
therefore say the witches let
fate run her course
when the fire avenges
let it be from our source

Unlucky

I’m why you’re unlucky
I’m why you don’t want to come out and play
I’m why life is sucky
I’m why you had a bad day.

I’m the reason we now only have one season
I’m the reason Titanic sank
I’m the reason you were charged with high treason
I’m the reason there’s no money in the bank.

My name is plain unlucky
I’m the poison that you drank
I’m the one that popped your rubber ducky
I’m the reason your page is blank.

Eve

From Adam's ribs, she's given life 
Then sooner she became his wife 
She gave him joy and happiness 
She filled his deepest emptiness 

She was his faithful companion 
Together they shared dominion 
He was the king, she was the queen 
She was gorgeous, she's evergreen 

But one day, the tricky devil
Enticed her heart to do evil 
Her one mistake roused the reason 
That they were charged of high treason

Alexander Briant

He was raised Protestant –
later, upon studies,
he converted to Catholicism
and became a Jesuit 

as is current pope Francis.
He labored with zeal
after ordination,
proclaiming true religion to all Nations.

With six other priests he was arraigned 
on the charge of high treason
and condemned to death by an English court.
He was subjected to inhuman tortures and executed.

In prison, he converted
many fellow prisoners,
imprinting the cross of Christ
on their minds.
