BOOK SEVEN — The Church of the Social Revolution

  They have taken the tomb of our Comrade Christ—

   Infidel hordes¹ that believe not in man;

  Stable and stall for his birth sufficed,

      But his tomb is built on a kingly plan.

  They have hedged him round with pomp and parade,

      They have buried him deep under steel and stone—

  But we come leading the great Crusade

      To give our Comrade back to his own.

                            Waddell.
