The Sinless Woman

A knowledge of the herbs
which men thought to be so shallow
gave healing to her neighbor
could send her to the gallows
                             
With a bright and brilliant mind
dare she speak so out of turn
accusation would then cause
the innocent to burn

Rumors spread throughout the town
of her by the wicked
scared to find before the court
frightened, alone and naked

Stripped of all her dignity
before the so called righteous
tortured for her testimony
confession would please the pious
                             
For principle and truth
would she never confess
to kindness as a crime
and die a woman sinless
