Here in The Republic
we have an orange to
red warning, curious!

Because the winds that
shook the barley were
a fighter shade green.

Authors Note.

The field of barley is
a metaphor for the
forces of the British
Empire.
The invisible wind that
shook them was the I.R.A.
Irish Republican Army.

Orange being the colour
of the Protestant North
and Red, the Red Hand
is the symbol of Ulster.

Gael (Irish) is another
metaphor for Gale.

Fighter from brighter.
