In The Dark Night!

In the dark night
shadows move swiftly.
Carrying burdens
greivous to be born.

Brandishing pitchforks
lanterns and axes.
Off on a witch hunt
to settle an incident.

Innocent victims
abused for their differences.
Knowing not why they'd been
driven from their homes.

On with the tyranny
there by the waters edge!
Silenced in terror
at the first light of dawn

Deprived and destitute
there in the morning.
Hung by the neck
