“Burn the witch!”
You fools, I have been burning since I was born
Only you could not smell the smoke
/
Scorched my mother’s womb
So that she could not bear any more children
I am the poison apple fallen from her withered tree
/
You men who think you own the world
Care nothing for those that brought you into it
/
Yes, burn the witch
But it will not be to Hell where you send me
Instead I will inherit your kingdom of Heaven
/
And when you die,
Should you try to enter into my house I will ask thee,
Who are you to seek entrance under my roof?
/
Should I grant you welcome
While your mother, your sisters,
Your daughters are still smoldering upon the hill
/
Yes, burn the witch
But do not tell her what leads you to believe she is one
/
Wouldst thou set thine own self ablaze?
No, you would be licked by one flame and weep
For your mother’s milk
/
Do not think that you can fool me
The peace I display towards thee is only courtesy
Were I to speak my mind you would cry
To your god of blasphemy
/
But I cannot testify in praise of that which
Intended to create me only as the lesser
I would rather be blinded by the sun’s shine
Or perhaps cast into it to die
/
Do not look upon mine self and proclaim me witch
For it is only your god whom demands the death of me
