The White House on the
Potomac,
The portal to power,
wealth, and fame –
To wield its dark demonic
forces
Innocence is lost and the
blood of man is shed;
Malicious lies are told,
Allegiance is bought and
sold,
Deceptive arts unfold.
Your hope does not lie
there, Southern man,
In demagogues making a
noisy scene,
But in the glittering
white house –
The church of Candida Casa
–
Of Blessèd Ninian in
Whithorn,
Nestled on Galloway’s bay,
Built by the hands of the
saint,
Who lived and prayed in a
little cave.
The Southern heart, aching
for a noble, loving father,
. . .
The rest is at https://www.reckonin.com/walt-garlington/white-house-poetry.

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