The Headscarfed-Witch Hunt

 

 

They branded her a witch

Put her name on every no-fly-list

Exiled her
to a no-fly-zone

 

On him
they blamed the evil of the world

Deep in a dungeon
in the evil realm
a frequent-flyer* he became

Years of pain
without an end

 

 

Truth must be buried deep

 

Neither the Terrorist-Child
nor the Headscarfed-Witch
should ever fly again
