The Triptych for the Feast of Charles I: King and Martyr. Question Mark? 30 January 1649
Triptych I: A Eulogy
“Let
us talk of Regicide[1],
and
the death of the Kind King”[2].
It is essentially
problematic,
When the Church honours the Feast of the death of
Charles I, "King and Martyr"[3].
Blood.
Lots of blood.
Mostly other people’s blood.
English Civil War blood.
We call for the
Putney Debates[4]
of our day.
We name this problematic day.
We speak truth today.
Parliament’s Sovereignty
is challenged once again.
We have been here before.
In 1649.
Parliament’s Sovereignty
Is raped,
Daily,
Since we
"Took Back
Control"[5].
Triptych II: Regicide.
Regicide lives.
It stalks the land.
The Kind King Truth is Dead.
Executed.
On the Flood Plains.
In the Market places.
And in the City Squares of England.
Lies wield their treacherous
Blood-stained Axe.
The Axe of the Great Lie.
The Lie that “dare not speak its name”[6].
Executed Truth.
Hear the Royal Proclamation:
The Kind King Truth is Dead.
Long Live King Falsehood.
Pause.
New Model Armies,
Rise.
We convene,
For our age,
The New Putney Debates.
All the painful questions,
Archbishops, Bishops, and Politicians
do not want to answer,
will be asked.
There are people,
in the public life of our country,
who,
if they die intestate of evidence of
Repentance
of the Sin of their Lies,
Should be denied a Christian Rite,
At their funeral[7].
Footnote No VII
(For Footnotes Matter)
The Followers of The Great Lie
Must hear today the words of our Ancestor Oliver Cromwell:
“I beseech you,
In the bowels of Christ
Think it possible you may be mistaken?”[8]
Footnote No VIII A
Oh no, not “The bowels of
Christ”?
Yes!
“The bowels of Christ”![i]
Furthermore
Footnote No IX[9]
(For Footnotes still Matter)
On the Great and Glorious Day,
Before the Bar of Heaven,
King’s Counsel willth rise,
With our Maternal Grandmother’s
Scofield Reference Bible,
Open at the Lesson set in the Lectionary for the day,
Resting on a gilded cushion
Of blue, crimson, and purple fabric,
Woven with King Solomoen’s Wisdom in
Fine fabric, and Cherubim[10].
In that Thin and Holy Place,
On that Great and Glorious Day,
Before that Holy Bar,
King’s Counsel will,
With integrity before the Bar of the Holy Word,
Denounce the
Leaders of The Great Lie,
And contest and challenge their Candidacy for Glory.
(Never cross a Poet who knows the literature of their
Non-Conformist Ancestors…).
Triptych III: “Anointing” Question Mark?
There is only one Crown.
It sits on
Jesu’s Head.
The essentially problematic
Feast Day of Charles I, King, and Martyr, has an
inheritance.
In this secular,
Multi-cultural,
Multi- faith country,
Is it appropriate on Saturday 6 May 2023,
In Westminster Abbey,
For the Archbishop of Canterbury
To anoint CR III at their Coronation[11]?
Footnote No XI
(For
Footnotes always matter)
When the
Government of the day will not publish the cost of the Coronation ceremonies,
while at the same time refusing to give nurses and doctors a decent pay rise.
Maybe the King should volunteer to pay some inheritance tax?
Charles I was a King.
If he was a Martyr,
And that is a question,
Then we ask the difficult questions of our day,
With tenacity, courage, and integrity,
Of our Archbishops,
Bishops,
And elected Politicians.
For once again,
We need to defend and reaffirm,
The Primacy of the principle of
Parliament’s Sovereignty.
Today we must speak of Regicide,
and of the Execution of the Kind King: Truth.
The
King is dead: long live the King. Question Mark?
