Commonwealth and Empire
One a protector of its
people, primarily
Codified by and large;
No exceptions arbitrarily,
Such its legal and
humanitarian charge.
The other a misnomer,
If ever there was one;
Is in a democratic
republic a carcinoma,
With an emperor to shun.
“Let the children come to
me,
And do not hinder …
I will set them free
And you will not injure.”
Do not deny their
presentation
In the Lord’s temple;
Their Holy representation?
Life and breath that’s so
central.
Shame on the Commonwealth’s
doctor,
Shame on the Empire’s leader.
You are the unborns’
stalkers.
You are life’s cheaters.
