Get Published on Female First

I contain within me the power to recover the wand

But I’m not interested in the feast.

Celebrate your victories, you fools

As they celebrate defeat.

I am marked at the ankle because of my breed

It is the sign of blasphemy.

You may denounce the words as I type them

But you can never take them off your screen.

Many men have died translating riddles

Fairy tales still in use today.

Your god specifically tells you not to judge

So who did you talk about today?

Oh did that hit one too many nerves?

Lets discuss adultery.

I believe that would be number 7

In your list of make believe.

You are also not allowed to covet your neighbor

Yet you have more than most in this world.

How much of your wealth do you hand out

And how much of it do you return to the herd?

With every fiber of my being I tried

To believe in your coveted tale.

I diligently watched each of you fall

And decided I didn’t want to fail.

You point fingers at people that do no wrong

Because of your deity.

Yet you profess to love your neighbors

With no ambiguity.

I believe your testaments are lies

Because you believe in what you wish.

I think everything you have ever stood for

You could serve on a small dish.

I’ve seen more morality in non believers

than have ever been in your fold.

You are obedient to fallible humans

Yet do as you are told.

Obedience is a great lure

If you are going to be part of the herd.

But if you want to be independently taken

Then you must fly like a bird.

You like to think that my kind

Can only be found in a ditch.

I’d like to tell you I care what you thought

But I’ll just leave you with “I’m a witch.”
