Priest John Wall
Intellectually distinguished
master of novices –
priest loyal to the papacy,
after the Reformation rift.
He went from one catholic family
to another –
by spies denounced
and arrested.
Convicted of treason and executed
for his links to the Holy See.
He was a catholic priest,
so his links were, as they should be.
Country which murders innocent people,
how long can you stand,
before corrupted you fall?
Nation – such terror you withstand?
