cultural dynamics

 

they're burning catholic churches in canada

in a nationwide iconoclastic pogrom

because someone said an 1840s orphanage

had 700 unmarked graves thereon

the methodology for the incitement

was borrowed from ireland

where last year one pious feministic atheist drone

catherine corless

calling herself an historian

claimed Victorian era nuns

had dumped dead babies in a sewerage tank

wielding bibles no less

the hate unleashed did its work

and few enough troubled to follow up

when the truth emerged

that no such burial took place

but that a county council bought the land

and dug up whatever bones it could find

nuns babies all

and buried them in a communal heap

to make room for a housing scheme

for catherine corless and her ilk

of course

catherine corless was not seeking

a pogrom against county councils

heaped with honours

she does not trouble further

her slander has done her work for her

the hate unleashed

has gone around the world

the vileness of the blood libel against the ancient church

i have not words to condemn

the irish who embraced it have damned themselves

the canadians too

they will not enjoy islam
