Massacre at Béziers
Our “yule” from “Jul,” our tree from tannenbaum-
We mutts of mixed Pagan parentage
Rebranded celebrations
Predating Christian heritage.
From Chauvet-Pont-d’Arc reliefs
Thirty-thousand years astray,
Suggest our reaction to wrong beliefs
To sack the City of Béziers.
In the name of God one tenders
Violence based on a word,
But the distance of time renders
All of History absurd.
