The new Oz  
is full of cowardly lions,  
and brainless tin men.

Witches have a tough time, too  
figuring out if they're good or bad

Used to be simple  
North, South  
East, West

But now all this gerrymandering  
and redrawing districts

The morally ambiguous witches  
attempt to maintain

plausible deniability
