The fighting race?
Afraid of a label,
A spit in the face,
No sign of a rebel,
What became of the fighting race?
The ginger birth numbers fell,
Immigrants come at an ever increasing pace,
Foreigners birth numbers swell,
Saints and scholars gone without a trace,
Ireland is now a multicultural hell,
How fast a once proud people can be replaced.
About this poem
How i wish we could turn back the hands of time, but it seems now the path to extinction is inevitable.
