"Lock her up!' The people shouted long and loudly.
So we did.
" Make her pay with time-" The Jury said
And so we did.
"What has she done ?" The children asked
when they saw her passing.
"She threatens your innocence!" Mothers shook their fists.
"She is a dark and evil force!" Wives nodded to one another.
"Her beauty is selfishness incarnate!" The priests proclaimed.
And thus her fate was sealed.

Sad but sometimes we are thought dangerous when we only dare to be different.
ignorance is the real enemy
sad they are so judgemental...
Powerful words ... hard to imagine it really happened eons ago.
all for beauty...how sad....but so harsh a reality...then and maybe even now...as rene says its roots are in ignorance...
History has a way of repeating itself...this could be today...well done!
There is a lot of truth here--well penned!
Yes...sometimes beauty is the only crime.

You really nailed the hypercritcal mindset..but secretly everyone loves beauty!! Very special...
how people fear beauty
How true and how sad..
..there could be a lot of this kind in the modern society... how sad...
This reminded me of an old TV ad that said: Don't hate me because I'm beautiful. I guess that attitude never ends.
