Understanding I long

by Shana   Dec 7, 2004


Many don't understand me
And my religion
But I still feel no enmity
For this inquisition

I get used to the harassment
All the calling of unfair names
But thats just a segment
Why am I the one they blame?

I am called an evil "witch"
Everyday I come awake
Thinking people want to throw me in a ditch
Or burn me at the stake

I do not believe in a Hell
I do not worship him
I have never cast a nasty spell
The light that I see is not dim

Us wiccans believe in good will
I would never kill a single fly
I have had my fill
I will stay true to this till I die

I guess I may never win
Understanding is what I long
This is what I believe in
I will stay strong

    Yeah, so like bold effort.

    Being a Wiccan is a tough but rewarding road to chose amidst todays climte of Christianity....believe me i know..been there.

    This poem is well conceived, need some3 work in terms of how it flows i think...like a few words clipped or added in placed to make it more syllabically sound...but yeah...well done.

    Blessed be.
