~THE WICKED WITCH IS DEAD~

~THE WICKED WITCH IS DEAD~

~

A teary- eyed young woman,

looks into the mirror;

And tells the nine year old,

“You know, I wanted to kill her.”

~

The little girl stares back,

as the woman continues to speak;

“I hated the way she made us feel,

so worthless, dirty and cheap!

~

She abused the both of us,

for her own, selfish need’s;

Then discarded us as garbage,

one would find out on the street.

~

My heart would ache and bleed for you,

each time you were defiled;

That is why I took your’ place,

and became the tortured Child.

~

But now we have no more to fear,

she’ll ne’er harm us again;

For I went to her Funeral today,

the Wicked Witch is dead!”

Clever way of telling this story, and an equally powerful message. Good job ;-)

When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.
