Fir gan Teanga

Sectarianism colonized their souls
Language colonized their words
Hate colonized their hearts

Refugees came without swords

But racism by those, merely shows,
That they are still colonized, by an
Inheritance, from their past masters.

Fir Gan Teanga is Irish for Men
without a language.

The Irish were not only colonised
geographically but also linguisticly.

Tir Gan Teanga means a country
without a tongue
