Peaceful lives which hysteria holds
Consumed by hatred, bloodshed and lost souls
Pure lives devastated by tales of witches
Wicked souls edifice nomadic switches

Innocent blood that splatters
Lovely roses that rise
Giving everlasting life
To this garden of lies

Will you live in land that divides?
Can you live where secrets thrive?
Innocent screams that shatter lives
Fires sent a blazing
Illuminating blood red skies

A town overwhelmed with deception and trickery
A town demolishing as calamity arrives
Can you here the innocent cries
Of those hanged by hysteria’s wicked ties?

A beautiful poem. Impeccable spelling and grammar, which is really great because these errors usually distract from one's words. Neatly formatted. And I've always had a soft spot for poems with questions in them. 5/5. wink
