Undefeated Éire

[Transitional Times Poem Collection] -
Each Irish citizen represents “Undefeated Éire” and where there is life there is hope! This creation is about our beloved homeland Ireland / Éire / Erin and her people, along and the ‘battles’ our Republic has endured and the ‘hidden ones’ presently ongoing. I invoke the ‘undefeated spirit’ of Irish citizens, to rise for the journey we need to take together to overcome this ‘modern style’ tyranny and to honour and preserve our ‘heartland’ and the reputation as the ‘fighting Irish’!!Show more

This poem falls into my 'Transitional Times' poem category which contains 'a variety of Motivational and Commentary poems exploring issues of the time in Ireland and Worldwide'.

Poem Wording:-

Undefeated Éire

We worry about history, being repeated?
Yet do you realise – we have never been defeated?!
Yes, subdued, suppressed, inured and depleted.
but still – not ‘fecking’ ever defeated!

History was distorted; and ‘they’ tried to lay shame.
But their efforts, they remain mostly lame!
Cloaked in spells to undermine us …
no they cannot actually define us.

Of Atlantis we were born,
we may find the proof of this on another morn.
Meanwhile – as we were torn and we,
for our people mourn.
We will, fight, until the final passing …
of this current upending storm.

Some, we already stand and see
clearly, the battles that are at hand.
Others, oppressed … are stressed,
needing some, or a little more rest.
Yet, we know they will be with us;
be awake and fearless,
at our nation’s final test.

We shall arise and sing in harmony.
As we joyfully reclaim our mystery,
even our mastery.
Glorious God, this vision I see …
Reclaim, proclaiming and
regaining … true history

We on Gaia’s ‘terra firma’, close to the crust
Know in our being … that this is a must.
Let’s trust and thrust – and shatter the crust …
finally overthrow their oppressive power and lust.
