History was made today
But you chose to protest
Vent your anger again
At your leaders behest
Your cause has lost
It’s way
Because your filled
With hate
Blind to the future
What you can achieve
What is it now
You really believe?
For five hundred years
This has gone on
Peace needs to come
To right all the wrongs
Your bleeding hearts
Only mention that past
But if you read your
History, further back it casts
For your people were
No saints
Committing worse
Atrocities you never paint
You attacked many places
Throughout time
But you ignore that past
Not thinking on it a crime
More damage you did
To others
But blind you are
To your brothers
You claim it’s about
Land stolen from you
But you yourselves
Stole yours whole true
Not just the land you
Reside in now
But the land of your
‘Enemy’ that never shout
That never shout
About what you did to them
Because they never lie
Or from their past pretend
So if you want peace
Take the road now on
Or you may find undoing
And all will go wrong

I'm a thinker, listener, a "question's pretty much everything" type of person. A seeker of knowledge, always restless, yet seeks the calm in life.
I love writing in all forms and am in the process of completing a number of ongoing projects. I love the craft of writing and the possibilities it holds. A magic carpet through the mind. I love pretty much all creative arts, music, film and theatre the leading ones.
Born in Hertfordshire in England, my family Irish, Welsh and English, I currently reside in Edinburgh, in Scotland. I'm drawn to coastal and mountain regions where I like to go to think and draw inspiration from. Ireland is a place that's dear to me, and I try to get back to see family and friends as much as possible.
My interests are wide and broad, too many to mention here, but history, archaeology, criminology, music and film are just some of those things I love.
I hope you enjoy my ramblings on here as that's what they are really. I'll let my fingers do the ''talking...''
