Salem's Suburbs

Project 86

They put on disguises today

To hide the scarlet letters

That each of us has put so far away



In this which trial

Modern day



Despite this it seems that the powers be

Have decided who I am

And who I will be



Who I am who I'll be

Has been decided for me

And they don't even know me



As they pounded in the stake

I thought I heard them say

“Become like us or you will be slain”



You can't tell me who I am.
