1
From the darkness Salem townCame the one named Abigail
Presumptuous and ostentatious
2
Placed the witchery unto the minds of others
Victimizing herself
With the help of her friends
Manipulated the court, to satisfy their own ends
3
Remorse was nonexistent
To justice they remained resistant
4
Merely young girls
A group of lost souls
Selfishness and fear
On them had a hold
5
The antithesis of righteousness
Was the Reverend Samuel Parris
His ministry was his sole concern
Matters of more importance he spurned
6
Much pity is felt for the outcasts
Those scapegoated by the girls as easy targets
7
Out of the horizon came Hale rather stray
A reverend come to eliminate witchcraft
Equipped with religious zeal
Then why can he not see the light?
8
He arrives holier than thou
Investigates the cases
When the girls claim to have escaped the devil
He is ecstatic and pleased
A job seemingly well done
9
Now to the main case
Involves the man named Proctor
An affair he had with Abigail
A mental stigmata is what he carries
10
A married man, honors his wife
Over sin, he'd prefer cutting himself with a knife
Abigail lusts after him
Elizabeth is who she seeks revenge against
11
She frames Elizabeth
Now seen as a witch
Advantageously played the role of a victim
The nature of a bitch
12
John takes her to court
Allies Giles and Hale with him
Mary Warren in a bad position
He confesses infidelity
Because of Abigail he is jailed
13
Abigail still loved John, would not accept defeat
Unbeknownst to her, it is in hell where they shall meet
Your poem was really good! There was a lot of good details from the story and you had a good use of words :]
