Land Grievances

Get in line. Young Maori. Get in line. Death Death March legally signed before young Maori intensely pined. Killed was ancient ancestral spirit cleaving Celtic Isle mist lost lands. Butchered guttered tie affixed lost birthright mystic Celtic legendary lands. Blood washed uprooted cast out are clans purged from beloved Celtic ancestral lands. Umbilical cord was cut brutally severed with stealing steal tongue beastly fire. For more sheep landlord pasture profit Scottish smashed in are cottages homes. Flocks free bleating beasts tended roam rule ruined outcast vacated ghost villages. Starvation claims sickening women children destitute dying in London’s stinking slums. Scottish men die dye red ranging regiments across stolen globe with British firing guns. Scottish bag-pipes screaming brave Scotsmen heard wounds silhouette bleeding sunset blood-red suns. In Ireland peasants dye starvation stained with green mouths on bitter famine food. Eating grass inland coastal eating seaweed bounty stock free for rash starved Irish peasants. British blight plague infests deflowered land bloated corpses manure pastures Irish rued. Providential not pestilent genocide inflicting Ireland; English lords taxing life breath to death never sued. Sweeping rubble rabble forth dark memories purge upon ship passage exiles permanently migration move. Homeland is lost family plot burial land countless wakes memories survivors ban. Get in line. Young Maori. Get in line. Copyright © Terence George Craddock http: //www.poemhunter.com/terence-george-craddock/
