Leaving aside the stereotypes–
Because we really ought to leave aside the stereotypes,
There being no excuse for not doing better since
There is no excuse for not knowing better,
This day and age being what they are,
And the information being yet available
Despite the efforts of some to purge the archives
And of others to artificially intercede–
There are serpents in the land that need chasing out,
Even if they were welcomed here by colors
Not associated with some third king or another

Is there some saint waiting to stand beside
A new Brigid, a new Colmcille,
Enslaved somewhere and tending sheep,
Looking for a sign that all will be well–
Some boars rooting around for acorns and truffles, perhaps–
An emblem in the heavens that betokens
Glories yet to come when
Evil is all chased away?
