Marching Out
Blood spilled on the shamrocks
The fighting ensues.
The RIRA, British, and Loyalist forces too.
I never knew her, this Irish rose.
Her bonny face and red hair.
She's disillusioned too.
Stand your ground, march out, fire at will.
I'm tired of this destruction.
She is too.
Just get out, and the violence will stop.
For the better of the two.
Comrade O' Connor keeps his eye on the wheel.
Practicing guerilla tactics in the wheat fields.
The bombs are set, the officer nods in a frown.
The North is drowned out by screaming wails.
March out!

Ireland is scarred and it shows in the hatred displayed in the North and even in the republic.
However, I feel that both sides are fighting a losing battle....
I always compare the conflict in the North to that of Palestine.....in history obviously.......good write,thnx 4 sharing.peace.

Thank You for repyling!!! As an American of Irish descent, I feel for the underdogs (RIRA, CIRA). I believe Ireland should be completly free, and one day my forefather's country will be freed from the hands of UK. Peace.
