St Thomas Beckett, 2020

In the presence of Kings, O Lord, I will declare your will.
For your commands have been my delight.
We search for truth as through a shuttered grille.
But one thing is certain might is not right.

Two Thomases, One Archbishop in his cathedral.
One Chancellor.
The first beloved of his people.
The second wise counsellor.

Where today are those prepared to stand up to secular power.
Where now can we find a martyr.
A light in a distant tower.
Is conformity or principle smarter.

The martyrs now are in Asia, Africa, and the Middle East.
We in Europe for the most part, care not the least.
