The Deprived Poem by Aine Ni Leidhin

Intriguingly ambivalent had to read and reread.I was left with a brning question why are witches seen as evil none of the one I know are

Deeply expressed piece....Wonderful thoughts, give the reader much to reflect on....(Do no wrong, and fear no man) .....

hmmm - by overdoing the fear creation by the church, it became necessary to exorcise it, to burn it out of ourselves in an external pyre, with a surrogate to die for us in a dark calvary of deceit. I do not think we live in one pole or other but uncomfortably between them, uncomfortable until we embrace the shadow and see that it was a product of the light and lose that fear, punishable by death.

I like the flow of this story and your way of phrasing images; in particular, curiosity summa rized they burned to express their profound sense of pity going Between day when the moon slid down Into the streets and lanes of the town fame flamed like has fleeting (all the f words) penny thrown in a bottomless well Stormy day rattled

well, evil things do happened and this is no excuse.

'curiosity summa rized ' You had raised my curiosity with that particular statement, which in turn led me to read the research paper - quite a fascinating subject. Your summarized conclusions regarding 'summa rized' are extremely touching if not a little sad, makes me feel like We are still just scratching the surface regarding the depths of the human mind! well done :)
