Slightly to the right of center
Stand the armed and angry citizens.
They are confronting the King’s army,
And insisting the wicked witch be burned.
“We have lost our freedom,”
Screams a leader of the people.
For 1,000 years we have burned witches
Who threaten the peace.”
“Now, in league with the despicable ones,
Our new King talks enlightenment.
He tramples on our rights
And protects malefactors.
He gives sustenance to evil;
Encourages us to offer comfort to the unholy.
We must take a stand!
No to women with pointed hats.”
Look how we have lost this year’s crop.
No rain and then pestilence.
If not the witches, who could cause such devastation?
A good fire will change our fortunes.”
