Sheets

They brought their sheets to the school board meeting 

and erected a cross to set ablaze.
Some in awe and some aghast, 
all there stood amazed
that they brought their sheets to the school board meeting 
but didn't bring their masks.

They screamed, "Books filled with heresy,"
and shouted, "Burn the witch!"
They demanded teachers on the chair,
"Strap them in, and throw the switch!"
They brought their sheets to the school board meeting 
but didn't bring their masks,
and afterwards the children gathered 
to piece their history from ash.
