Real darkness falls where the spineless are!

Shame on you, Cardiff, Waterstones,

For muzzling Mr Patrick Jones.

When faced with Christian intolerance.

You could have shone and made a stand,

For the free word in our free land.

But no, that wasn’t to be.

Being honest now, can you tell me,

That you’d do the same to Salman Rushdie?

Real darkness falls where the spineless are,

And though I write this from afar,

Be aware that your chance has gone,

And I’ve ordered mine through Amazon.
