witches
have often been portrayed
as green
ugly
ancient
hunched over
cackling hags
or scantly clad
young
sexy
and stupid women
of course describing witches
in these ways deflects the truth
about who and what they are
it makes them seem less dangerous
less threatening
less real
because if witches are seen
as the strong
intelligent
powerful
healers and seers
who sit at the desk next to you
teach your children in schools
operate on you in hospitals
and live in the houses across the street
men would once again light their matches
but deep down
in their tiny fiery hearts
men tremble
because they know the Witches aren’t Coming
they’re already here
