I can still hear the screams
Where they came from I didn’t know
That smell makes me sick too
It’s a mixture of burning flesh and gasoline
I now realize the screams where me
The burning flesh was me as well
Its all became clear as I reached my death
I was burning, being burned alive
The people watched and cheered
They watched with such anticipation
They thought they would really get a show
As if anything would happen right there
Why if ever would I do anything then
Not with everybody watching
Even with all my power there were too many
They were many, I was one
They all remember that day, I know
I can see in there minds they keep it close
Thinking that now they were safe
So mistaken, they thought I would be trapped
Instead they freed me from mortal confines
Now is when they will really feel my wrath

I love this. I had a relative in the Salem Witch Trials, Giles Corey in fact. The whole mess was a shame. But this is a great write.

Nicely done... and interesting point of view... it took me a second to connect the title with the poem (I'm a tad slow this morn) but I very much like this piece. _Raven

I hate what happened at the salem witch trials...........the people who where killed deserved to live, and those who destroyed there lives, deserved to suffer. This is a very touchy subject for me.........good write

Good. Tho I wish it was set in the actual Salem trial era. It would have given it loads more impact. x.x axelle x.x

Quick question, what made gave you the impression of the time period. I didnt think I gave any clues to that.
