Wormley

He then wonders if people on the far shore have suffered as has he, and wishes them well. He suggests that few, knowing him, would wish him peace. Thus he relies on the anonymity of the darkness, that of his own candle in the night, for return blessings. His best chance for a prayer for his soul is if someone sees his light as a far away star from their shore and blindly offers up a prayer in his behalf. There is a strong implication that Gavin thinks he has no voice before God. He wants God's blessing but cannot drop his sword. "Vengeance shall be mine, as well." is a frequently quoted McGuiness-ism. Superficiality Song : (This is a condensation of a student submission) This poem really kicks butt. It never ceases to amaze me how people have deep convictions on subjects about which they know nothing. This is especially true in the case of events wherein our friends are not behaving in the most humanitarian way.

It couldn't be that Belfast Harbor has huge economic value to England nor that the mercantile policies of England draw upon ruling other nations to insure raw goods for industry. No. That couldn't be it. The reality is that Catholics and Protestants get along rather well in the Republic of Ireland, where the "Church of Ireland" is a protestant sect in a Catholic majority country. Explain an elected Jewish mayor of Dublin. The tying of oppression to religion was the handiwork of William of Orange, a Dutchman who took power in England. An attempt was made, and failed, to exterminate the Irish from Ireland, including the children "Nits become lice.". That genocidal power still exists and exalts it's supremacy as a God given right to privilege. It is just another instance of apartheid. The English people are a very nice people. Really. But they have a schizophrenic government with half of it representing the power of a handful of heirs, thinking they are gods - they call them selves "Lords" and they mean it. The history of these ruling families is a litany of genocide, fratricide, matricide, patricide, looting, debauchery and every imaginable evil. Some lords! The eternal inbred genetic trait they carry in dominant genes is arrogance.
