Papa the Bard

Here is a poem written by Papa and transcribed by Laura (any and all mistakes are Laura's responsibility!):

Once more the cause of honor reigns,
afoot in western lands.

"Fear not to speak of old crusades!",
the cause of virtue now demands.

Cordova witnessed martyrdom
for speaking what was right.

The imams came on pounding hooves
like thunder in the night.

The west, once filled with churches
to please the One True God...

Minarettes have taken over.
The cry is now "Jihad!".

Follow, oh Christian soldier,
the cross that Jesus bore.

If Islam wants it bad enough
let us give them holy war!

The innocent had died for naught,
if imams are now to reign.

We must stand up for those of us
whom jihad so recently has slain.

"Come kneel before our idols!",
said Caesar to Christ’s flock.

But faith was much more powerful
than flail and chopping block.

We need now faith so similar,
and to carry shield and sword.

Put on the cross of virtue
and vanquish Allah’s hoard!
