‘Tis written in the Constitution and what this ambiguous statement mean

May 10, 2020May 10, 2020

The votes they have been counted the majority rules for all
The winners form the Government though their margin of victory small.
The losers are the minority that’s what Democracy is all about
The loser like the k o’d boxer who has been counted out
The winner speaks for the loser’s supporters they call this Democracy
But that someone you wish not to speak for you still speaks for you seems baffling to me.
The votes they have been counted and they tell you every vote count
But since you voted for the loser your vote to nothing does amount
The winner represents you yet what he stands for you oppose
And they call this Democracy but that’s life I suppose.
Since you voted for the loser on the Election Day
In Legislation passed by the Government you do not have a say
And they call this a Democracy and tell you that your vote count
But since you voted for the loser your vote to nothing does amount.

When he was young he fell out with his father

But strained relationships are not unusualBetween a father and his teenage boy.He said my father had a drinking problemAnd when he was drunk his fiddle he used to playAnd sing the songs he learnt from his fatherAbout the fight for freedom far away.In retrospect my father was a good manAnd he was one who did…

That took place in the Ireland of his timeWhen to be poor was punishable crime.He lived when famine ravaged his HomelandYou know of history you might understandWhy Ireland once was Land of death and tearsThe sufferings of the poor in famine years.His poem on the fairies is a gem of joyI learned it by heart…

She has inspired artists to sketch her and poets about her to rhyme

Her rills and streams flow to the river that to the great ocean flowAnd her Seasons they come and her Seasons they go,There is a time limit to you and to IBut Mother Nature lives on and she will never dieFrom a soft gentle breeze to a rage she can blowAnd of her best kept…

I pity them they do not seem to have much in their lives

Byammarkhan May 10, 2020May 10, 2020

On Princess Mary and her new born Prince too much to read, hear and seeIt seems all old baloney to judgemental me.In their seemingly harmless hobby royal watchers persistBut without them the royals would cease to existSnobbery and class distinction the masses createThough at the demise of all royals many would celebrate.They shout god save…
