| The Our Shame and Glory Be | |
| By Talisker | ||||||||
| 26 August 2006 | ||||||||

This piece of parody was written some time ago, at the height of the US invasion of Iraq. I still stand four-square behind the sentiments. For the unindoctrinated - the form mocks two Christian prayers. Oli. Our shame which art the cradle of civilisation, Iraq be thy present name. We made thy tyrant, Satan’s will was done, in Halabja as it was in Hiroshima. Kneel before us each day in subjugation, overlooking our wicked deeds. So that we may mould you in our blessed image, the better to control and bleed you. And yet we can never be called evil. For God is on our side, and ours is Babylonia, The Euphrates, the Tigris and all the resources of your land, for ever and ever, Amen. Glory be to the liars, to the infidels, to white Christian supremacists, As it was in the crusades, is now and ever shall be, Hypocrisy without end. Amen.
