'''And did those feet in ancient time''' is an English patriotic poem written by William Blake in the 19th Century. It tells of the legend that the Lord Jesus traveled to England, then under heathen Roman rule. 'Jerusalem' is used as a metaphor for the kingdom of heaven, and the poem exhorts the audience to fight for a reassertion of God's rule on earth. Despite a clear decline in honest Christian values in England, this poem is still remarkably popular. Unfortunately, few people take the sentiments to heart, and England is undergoing a desperate moral decline. It is to be hoped that people will take inspiration from this poem, and its martial tone, and fight for a reestablishment of Christianity at the centre of both England, and the rest of the world, driving out the Islamics that infect the heart of our society. The poem can also be seen as a lament for a time in which decency, tolerance and respect for fellow man were present among all.
