Bless You, Benito, Bless You

Bless you, Benito, bless you;
may your memory last forever.
Bless you, Il Duce,
you fascist dictator,
you warmongering fool,
bless you,

For you made it possible,
by your patronage,

and by your funds,
to build this chapel on the
Mount of the Beatitudes

Where emblazoned upon the walls
for the world to see are the words
that the humble carpenter’s son taught us:

“Blessed are the Peacemakers.”
