\nGuy Fawkes\u2019 lantern
\nIs a surreptitious
\nPoint of pilgrimage
\nFor anonymous
\nArmies of anarchists who
\nVisit the glass case
\nWhere it is preserved
\nIn the Ashmolean
\nMuseum, Oxford.<\/strong><\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

\u2018What if?\u2019 they wonder,
\n\u2018What if Guy Fawkes had done it?
\n\u2018Had done the business \u2013
\n\u2018For what\u2019s changed?\u2019 they ask,
\n\u2018Kings and Parliaments spend tax
\n\u2018On wars no one wants.
\n\u2018There\u2019s still a Monarch,
\n\u2018Most of whose Parliament
\n\u2018Is unelected.<\/p>\n

\u2018Twenty-six Bishops
\n\u2018From the national religion
\n\u2018Sit there as of right.
\n\u2018The Invisible
\n\u2018Sky Wizard has favored them
\n\u2018Over other cults,
\n\u2018And eight hundred Lords
\n\u2018Outnumber all the elected MPs,
\nMaking voting meaningless.\u2019<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

\"GuyFawkes3\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Boisterous voices
\nThen frighten the life out of
\nJapanese tourists:
\n\u2018Guy Fawkes, Guy Fawkes, t’was his intent
\nTo blow up the King and Parli’ment.
\nThree-score barrels of powder below
\nTo prove old England’s overthrow.\u2019<\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

With 792 members, the House of Lords is the only second chamber in the world which is larger than its first chamber. The elected House of Commons has 650. The only other State legislature which includes representatives of its state religion, as of right, is Iran.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
