Reciting the bible backwards, at the end of a rope.
The crowd jeers at the notion, watching them hang from it,
as they reach and grope.
Any sane man could tell this is not god’s work;
Satan’s sisters have taken control,
in the courtroom, they lurk.
But I will not take a witch's bate,
between these two boards,
asking for more weight.
