Holy Edmund,
the Patron Saint
Of All
England, Eternal King
Of East
Anglia, he shed his
Blood, he
sacrificed his own life
To save his
Christian people from
The heathen
Danes.
Now, New England,
How honor
you this great father
Of
yours? You are like the robbers
Who sought
his shrine to desecrate
It, only to
become frozen
In the act
of their heinous crime.
You, too,
Yankees, are unmoving,
Stuck in the
same agony of
Committing a
blasphemy ’gainst
Your gracious
martyred protector.
Spiritually
naked and
Destitute,
you strive to heal the
Body only,
but not the soul.
Yet, though
you have strayed as did the
Prodigal
son, though you gravely
Are stricken
in your soul with wounds,
You are
still united by bonds
Unseen with
your father Edmund,
Who suffers
the pains of your hell
In his soul,
and offers them
All together
to God, pleading
That these
tears and cries and sighs be
Accepted as
expiation
For sins of
the past, as a way
To
repentance, and medicine
For new and
abundant life, now
And in the
age to come.
You
fled
As pilgrims
into the wilderness,
With a
burning passion eager
To
reconstitute sin-sick man.
But the
mission has ended in
Decomposition. Lost, alone,
Bewildered,
cry out, ‘Here! Here! Here!’
As the head
of your patron did
After the
Danes had thrown it with
Disdain into
a briar patch.
The wolf
would not let the precious
Head come to
harm; St Edmund will
Likewise be
your good guardian
If you would
only ask of him.
From the
cities of Satanic
Abominations
you have built
Upon New
England’s rocky hills,
To the City
of beauty and
Bliss the
Holy Trinity has
Made with
the angels and the saints –
Edmund will
guide you gladly thence
When your
rebelliousness ends.

Holy Ælfred
the Great, King of England, South Patron, pray for us sinners at the Souð, unworthy though we are!
Anathema to
the Union!
