Barbaric – shocking liberal views;
The phrase « a man has lost his head »
In France now means the poor guy’s dead!
Speech is silvern I was told
But silence would have been pure gold
As tolerance comes up against
Extremists - causing deep offence.
A moment – let’s wind back the clock
Two Tudor Queens died on the block;
A disappointed King the cause
Both trial and jury fraught with flaws…
Retribution this time - swift
Indicating the wide rift
Between opposing schools of thought
Mirroring the way we’re taught.
While all religions have a voice
What you believe is your own choice
The perpetrator quickly killed
But violent outbursts won’t be stilled!
