       You don’t get to be racist and Irish.You don’t get to be proud of your heritage,Plights and fights for freedom,While kneeling on the neck of another.You’re not entitled to sing songsOf heroes and martyrs,Mothers and fathers who criedAs they starved in a famine.Or of brave-hearted,Soft-spokenPoets and artists,Lined up in a yard,Blindfolded and bound,Waiting for Godot,And point-blank to sound.>>

       We emigrated.We immigrated.We took refuge,So cannot refuseWhen it’s our timeTo return the favour.Land stolen,Spirits broken,Bodies crushed and swollen,Unholy tokens of Christ,Nailed to a tree,That you hang around your neckLike a noose of the free.Our colour pasty,Our accents thick,Hands like shovelsFrom mortar and brick,Laying foundations of citiesYou now stand upon.>>

       Our suffering seeps from every stoneYour opportunities arise from,Outstanding on the shouldersOf our forefathers and foremothersWho bore your mother’s mother.Our music is for the righteous.Our joys have been earned,Well deserved and serveTo remind us to remember:More Blacks.More Dogs.More Irish.Still labelled leprechauns, Micks, Paddies, loutsWe’re shouting to tell you:>>

       Our land, our lawsAre progressively out there.We’re in a chrysalis,State of emergingInto a new and more beautiful Éire.40 Shades Better.Unanimous in our rainbow vote,We’ve found our stereotypical pot of gold,And my God, it’s good.So join us…’Cause you don’t get to be racist and Irish.A poem by #ImeldaMay ❤️
