Accusers—>Accused

Eyes claim unseen truths,

Yet the spectral fingers point,

Their fates now entwined.

Whispered in the dark,

Visions turn on their masters,

Irony's sharp bite.

Seers become seen,

Haunted by their own specters,

Justice's twist grim.

Once accusers, now

Chased by shadows they summoned,

Tables turned, they fall.

Visions once wielded,

Now chains that bind their bearers, Unseen irony.

Tragic and true, well said🖤

"J'accuse!" the spirit

Cried, and pointed. The jury

Gasped; it was the judge...

Specters of the past

Return to guide modern hands

To where Death lingers

This has a very arcane, Lovecraftian vibe for me, I love it🖤

Haiku – The Sixth Poltergeist

“I see dead people.”

“They’re here!” Stay away from kids.

They’re bringers of ghosts.

So true. It’s always ‘my friend’ that no one else can see…

Not acceptable as evidence in a 21st century court of law. (Sorry, ghost hunters.)

True, there are some interesting historical cases to look into though.

Spectre sits above

I see it! But I forget

Wraiths can perjure too.

Good point😂🤦‍♀️weirdly, spectral evidence could also be the astrally projected spirits of living witches who for some reason chose the courtroom of their own trial to torment the accusers🙄 So very stupid, the whole thing.

These men need to get real lol. Ghosts but no witches? Silly!
