That Regime End Poem by Mai Murphy Venn

see that regime end

It’s November here in Ireland and the atmosphere is quite,
Peace before a storm, the old folk think it’s possibly right,
There is an election looming and it’s coming ‘round the bend,
While the realistic Irish want to see that austere regime end.

The leaders of our country are staying exceptionally quiet,
While the opposition parties are preparing for a fight,
Now Christmas is approaching; the homeless are filled with worry,
They need help and support and they need it in a hurry.

The sick are left on trolleys, be they young or very old,
While the politicians argue they are left out in the cold,
The elections they are pending, coming around the bend,
While the realistic Irish want to see that austere regime end.
