For all those who died stripped naked, shaved, shorn
For all those who screamed in vain to the Great Goddess only to have tongues ripped out by the root..
For all those who were pricked, racked, broken on the wheel for the sins of their inquisitors
For all whose beauty stirred their torturers to fury and for those who ugliness did the same
For all those neither ugly nor beautiful, but only women who would not submit..
For all those whose quick fingers broken in the vice
For all those soft arms pulled from their sockets
For all those budding breasts ripped with hot pincers
For all those midwives killed merely for the sin of delivering man to an imperfect world..
For all those witch women, my sisters who breathed freer as the flames took them
Knowing as they shed their female bodies, the seared flesh falling like fruit in the flames
That death alone would cleanse them of the sin which they died
The sin of being born a woman who is more than the sum of her parts..
I love it. It oozes sadness and horror, and the poem fits it perfectly.

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
