There are two sides to every conflict, and when benedict switched sides, well here is one angle to the story
Benedict Arnold
Cunning and Brave,
Captured Fort Ticonderoga and won Connecticut
Though he lost Valcour Island,
The British payed dearly for it
Continental Congress Passed him over
Other generals stole credit for his successes.
Political adversaries charged corruption
in his time of financial need
Americas new alliance with France
Benedict could not agree.
Without his daring do,
The revolution would have lost
Yet America Treated a hound better.
Arnold, our New Jesus If Only
You had stayed for us to crucify
Switched allegiance
Narrowly escaped our grasp
We Howl at you, our New Moon.
