Offsite Post: ‘The Southron’s New Jerusalem’

The Yankee Pharisee

Proclaims it his duty,

Divinely given, to build

New Jerusalem

Upon the earth

By fire and sword

And any other kind of force.

 

The Southerner,

Truer son of English

And the Celts, senses

Something there amiss.

 

Deep within his soul

There lies a primordial

Memory, of deathless

Avalon, the Isle

Of Paradise,

England’s Jerusalem

Of Glastonbury.

 

The Righteous Joseph

Of Arimathea

Drove out the druids

From her hills; . . .

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

Anathema to the Union!
