HARVARD SQUARE COMMENTARY

A Poem

Crusaders, Syria, 1099

John R. Guthrie

"This crusade, this war on terrorism

is going to take a while."

--George W. Bush

The soldiers of our fairest Lord

sacked Barra first, then Marra.

Famished from their holy work

they grilled the children whole,

the grown-ups sectioned.

Then they ate them.

Praise be the warriors of the Lord,

of Jesus meek and pure,

they who consumed the Muslim hoards

for Jesus of the sharp broadsword.
