Le Christianisme
LE CHRISTIANISME by WILFRED OWEN
So the church Christ was hit and buried Under its rubbish and its rubble. In cellars, packed-up saints lie serried, Well out of hearing of our trouble.
One Virgin still immaculate Smiles on for war to flatter her. She's halo'd with an old tin hat, But a piece of hell will batter her.
