She Born A Beautiful Soul (rehashed)
She lives all alone in her cave
with Gobbelino her black cat
travels around on a broomstick
wears a black cloak and pointy hat
Standing over her cauldron
on the open fire made from sticks
cooking up a recipe
from her book of spells and magic tricks
Toadstools, nuts, plants and berries
slugs, snails and wings of vampire bat
frogs, toads, insects and spiders
whole field mice and the tail of rat
Forced out into the wilderness
distorted face, ugly, some might say
she was born a beautiful soul
unkind, spiteful remarks changed her way
An old tale of a wicked witch
a story that stands the test of time
a new evil has come to town
committing vicious and heartless crimes
She lives in her cosy home
has a loving family and good friends
drives around town in her four by four
wears smart clothes, all the latest trends
She cooks up hearty dinners
organises fundraisers selling cake
totally oblivious
to the toll that unkind comments can take
All over social media
Facebook, Instagram and Twitter
taking on several disguises
noone could ever know it is her
Hiding behind a glass screen
power found in a fake profile name
sending out her criticisms
no fear of repercussions or blame
The life of an internet troll
a curse of our modern day time
casting cruel words online
secretly causing misery is her crime
Living her blessed and privileged life
fair of face and pretty, some might say
She was born a beautiful soul
unkind, spiteful remarks changed her way

Thanks for the kind likes. Revisiting and rehashing some of last years attempts.
