Commonwealth and Empire

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.
