Sunday Bloody Sunday
Sunday Bloody Sunday
Fifty years ago
January thirthiet nineteen seventy two
One of British most proudest moments in histody
Those brave brave men
That brave parachute regiment
How they fought and defended themselves
Let no one take away from their brave actions
Each and every one of them
Their mothers and all
Have so much to celebrate on this day
They fought valintily
Those British Cowardly fuckers
Against a peaceful protest
Against Irish Catholic citizens
There was no returning fire
The protestors had no guns
"Go on home british soldiers
Go on home
Have you got no fucking home of your own"
They cold bloodily murdered fourteen Irish citizens
They injured fifteen more
With their rubber fucking bullets
I bare no ill will towards the English
But when I think back to that day
When I was all of nine years old
My body shakes with hatred
My blood boils.
I would have no problem
Taking up the Armalite
Against those murdering British bastards
Let us never forget our history

Author's Note
Looking back on this, I realise that I should have given credit to the Irish band U2 for penning that simple line
"Sunday bloody Sunday"
This is the name of a song they wrote.
So, please forgive my thoughtlessness in this
This was a hard decision to post. We are beyond that now. I DO NOT HAVE ANY ILL FEELINGS AGAINST the English in today's society.
But our history is ours, no matter how painful it was

Great job at penning such a heavy topic and historical reminder, WM. You really did it justice.... Without reminders of the worst actions of men, it's easier to potentially repeat those horrible atrocities... Thank you for shining awareness...

The English and the Irish have had quite a few skirmishes and whatnot in history. From what I understand, there are ethnic slurs between the two nations. Respectfully. I really enjoy you quick history lessons!

Hi Ashley
Thanks for reading and commenting, just to clarify things, those weren't just skirmishes from our point of view..
It is beyond complicated to try and explain everything.
There are so many different factors in play, but the main one is simple enough. England invaded and Ireland lost until 1922, when Ireland gained independence except for 6 counties in the North.
This is where the "troubles" began, where hatred festred, blood was spilt and a war of attrition began.
Times have past, peace at last, but there's always those who still burn with hatred.
Thanks again Ashley
Love n peace
