Salem Mayhem

Some say that Salesman is Miller’s best play, 
But there’s another that blows me away: 
When children see demons that are not there, 
Conjuring evil out of the air, 
Leveling charges of monstrous deeds, 
Taking delight when a victim bleeds, 
Claiming instead to be victims themselves, 
Whining as if they endured endless hells, 
All the while honored for virtuous bravery, 
Tortured within by their envious knavery - 
This is the story that leaps from the page 
Whenever The Crucible plays on the stage.
