Druids in Dire Danger

Druids in Dire Danger

Dear Sir,

It has come to my attention that there exists on campus, a group who parade under the banner of "FLD" and purport to follow in the traditions of the ancient and better left dead Druidic orders last prevalent many centuries ago.

These some what misguided individuals apparently don't realise the true nature of their supposed forebears or the severe risks they are taking, in envoking even in jest the powers of the occult which they obviously do not understand.

The original Druids were a bunch of de—praved sadists who had the delightful habit of performing human sacrifices which was not only antisocial and very messy, but totally unnecessary to the working of their rites.

Therefore ye who treat the occult forces lightly beware lest you incur a karmic debt of such magnitude that the rest of eternity will be required for absolution

(So how is the reader to decide, from those who to us do confide Their wisdom of occult and metaphysical Which is wise and which just trivial?

But as for Druids and their sacrifice Tis true they say, we pay the price when decadent political expediency Corrupt religious integrity

It happened to Jews, to Christians and Islam Are we all to be forever damned And seek to cure our devout fellow man With rational minds who would see them banned?
