This poem is written in memory of the millions of innocent men, women and children who were slaughtered and tortured in the name of religion. Most, if not all, were never involved with true witchcraft.

NEVER AGAIN

Tied to a stake,

And I do not know why,

My friend next to me,

And she's starting to cry.

My thoughts start to drift,

And as I look back,

I remember the pain...

The torture...the rack.

For a great many years,

Good people, they kill,

All in 'god's' name,

Oh, the blood, it does spill.

Wise women we were,

And skilled in the arts,

Of healing and birthing,

And helping sweethearts.

All manner of herbs,

We knew them quite well,

But they said we must stop,

Or go straight to 'hell.'

But our ways, they are old,

Not easy to leave,

"You go against 'god',

And do not believe."

They said we have sinned,

And broken 'god's' law,

What god would do this?!

Now they're lighting the straw !!!

The fire is now creeping,

And I'm fading so fast,

My friend, she is shrieking,

But I'll stand steadfast.

I yell to the crowd,

With all of my might,

The smoke and heat blazing,

My eyes burning bright.

Now, who is the 'devil' ?

And who is the 'sinner'?

We're roasting alive,

As if we were dinner.

They laughed at my words,

And shouted with glee,

"Burn, Witch, Burn"!!

We'll not hear your plea.

With my one final breath,

And through all of my pain,

I whispered these words,

"NEVER AGAIN".

N.B....The "Burning Times" is a term used by Pagans and modern witches to refer to the period in Western history of intense witch hunting and executions, generally the mid-15th to early 18th centuries. Fire itself is the element of purification, and nothing less than fire could negate the evil that was said to be witches.
