Irish blood <br />flows through my veins <br />A tired flood <br />host of historical pains <br />pains from the butting of heads <br />between faiths in contention <br />that of loving liquid so divine <br />a hope of false redemption <br />famines and floods <br />castles and violence <br />the people against king <br />for Ireland they will sing. <br /> <br />(3/17/05)<br /><br />Sean Furlong<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/green-with-poetry/
