Pro'scribed Poet


Let him speak for the silenced,

permit his voice a right to echo.

Did you anticipate he’d become

illiterate after imposing darkness.

Perhaps you assumed deafened

dogs had forgotten how to bark!


Distention can never be doused,

700 years of British brutality, yet

their wickedness failed to quench

Irelands embers and a Gael force

wind ignited a passion which rose

a phoenix for all the world to follow.


Palestine, we are metaphorically

twinned we are paled in pen friends,

victims of similar evil, Gaza my heart

bleeds for your 70 years of genocide

I will write for you, defend your honour

and justify your quest to be free.
