Witches, a poem by Abhinav Aradhi

 

Witches

Do you think me a fool?

Do you cackle like a coven,

When I fly by?

Do you menacingly stir your cauldron?

 

Magic is in the blood, in the veins.

It's in the cells that travel down the highway.

Your blood is lacking, maybe kill some more.

It’s a rare blood type: XY negative.

 

You pale hags, you seize us.

We are left defenseless, crying out.

Medusa was just a pregnant woman,

Not a vicious beast.

 

Turned us to stone, have you?

Well we’ll use ourselves as bricks.

We’ll build a big ancient wall,
Where you’re not allowed.

Stop crying about the wall.
You wanted us gone, so we left.

All that’s there for you now

Is all that you’ve ever wanted.

 

You’re rid of us, so leave us be.

Why are you so obsessed?

Some of us are traitors,

But most of us are drama queens.
