The Burning
My thirty-eighth dark poem in the series inspired by Dharrsheena
This is my thirty-eighth dark poem in the series inspired by Dharrsheena.
It is just a take on how men and the patriarchy abuse women, and this still goes on today but it has to turn soon. Women are equal in every way to men.
The music I have chosen is "Burn The Witch" by Radiohead from the album "Moon Shaped Pool".

You Know How Joan Of Arc Did Feel
And The Salem Witches Also
Women Burned By Bad Men's Evil
Lighting Torches To Burn Their Foe
π€ππ€
You're Tied To The Wooden Stake
Of Lies And Stories You're Accused
The Brushwood Starts To Burn Away
Their Accusations You Refused
π€ππ€
The Flames Now Licking Your Bare Flesh
Blisters Burst On Your Charring Skin
You're Burning Alive, In Distress
Your Flesh Blackens, This Hell You're In
π€ππ€
The Evil Men Say Burn Witch Burn
You Curse Them, It Will Be Their Turn

Here Comes 2023
Introduction I am writing a fiction which I haven't a clue what is happening and then was in a long lovely conversation with Misty Rae while creating the January 2023 Threads in Vocal+Assist and moving the December Threads to Guides so I have thirty minutes to write a poem for the end of the year.

Do You have a Support Network?
Life is harder when youβre on your own. Human beings are social creatures, and we usually feel better when we have support from a strong social network around us. For most people, itβs our families that hold us together like glue.

I loved the dedication, thank you for that!! The poem was definitely dark, but more so because it held too much truth. Great work!
That was aMAZing! I LOVE spooky poetry and this was very well done!
Thank you for writing this poem in dedication to all the women who were framed and wrongly accused. It's excellent!
Very dark, and quite good. Well done.
