Ireland Is A Awaiting Poem by Mai Murphy Venn

It's almost on top of us, The 100 years' centenary of 1916

But Ireland lays still in hopes of a new horizon dawning.

Waiting for a government to take charge of the country.

A government that will care for the nation with pride.

Looking after the sick, old, young, homeless, Poor, and helpless.

The people of Ireland deserve the best administration in the land.

We have suffered far too much with the previous regime policies of harshness.

We fought for freedom but did we get it as we still feel far more suppressed

Under the cruel rule of austerity and mean cuts to the worse off in society

Cutting child benefit, old folks telephone allowance, and rent allowance.

The election was a sham as the rich majority had the upper hand at all times

The working classes work harder for less, slaves for the last regime broke them

Leaving them to the four winds, helpless, tired, depressed, oppressed and forgotten

The election should have to give us hope and enlighten for a better future for all

Now in deadlock, now we wait till St Patrick day and Easter is over, to commence, what?
