Poetic Irish Quote
Ryan O'Leary Dec 2023
“You can never stop the wind

     that shakes the barley"


                    <>

If one looked horizontally at

a field of barley, it resembled

the standing army of Britains

  Empire, (metaphorically).


The invisible wind which had

the ability to taunt and tilt and

haunt, was in fact the I.R.A.


This analogy can be made of

the Israeli Defence Forces in

their effort to fight/find Hamas.


The aerial bombing of Gaza

was futile, because Hamas

are invisible just as the IRA.


Who would have thought

that a population similar to

Gaza collapsed an Empire.


Israel despite all their bombs

and planes and tanks and guns,

will be brought to their knees.








Ps.


The Kites of Gaza have

  the same symbolism.

The breadth of wind is

vast and immeasurable,

in Ireland it's Gael Force.

When I was a wee lad

clear, how easy it would

be to add up the amount

of people that went to the

unfortunately there are no

keep the tally, although it

is said that one particular

Not everyone thinks for themselves.

   Not everyone searches for the lies,

   No, it was intentional, but opposite

   to what malleable minds anticipate.

   Un-converting colonised thought is

  a far more difficult than its antonym.

   I have been called a radical I have

  had people delete me block me ask

  me to desist from sending missives.

Perhaps empathy comes from holding

a glass without contents of same name.

I was not conditioned by an educational

system, I was expelled from school that

defined me for some it stigmatises me.

   I apologised to Santa Claus for not

  believing in him, but I am making no

  such amend to those offended by

  my think to talk and for you who are

  still on my mail list, do not expect me

to remove you or cease writing at you.
