Over 3,500 churches have
been abandoned in Britain
in the last 10 years
some are empty, desolate
some are restaurants and bars
some are swimming pools
some are mosques and gyms
Oh the tragedy, the sadness
the decline of Christianity
the loss of faith
the sacrilege of a house of God
used for a bar
you may disagree, and I don’t care
but I see this as symptomatic
of the UK’s decline
the empire upon which
once the sun never set
reduced to a country
where freedom of speech
now eclipsed by oppression
and the darkness of night
keeps creeping in.
