2013 -- 5.2 (Spring) Poetry

A Witch Hunt

by: Devin Christy
The shining sun sets

A crowd gathers around

The accused woman sweats

While a thick fog comes down

The quiet Earth is still

A blazing fire erupts

Fighting with the air so chill

Among them all are corrupt

Screams of pain echo in the night

Then screams slowly stop

They all believe that they are right

As the body goes with a flop

The crowd returns home again

Thinking a job well done

Not knowing one of them

Will be the next on the run
