Poem - The Languages Of Ireland




in the old days
they trembled for fear of the parish priest
that he might coming storming in
full of ire serving up damnation
for something said or something supported
The Struggle ended that as well...
and so evolved the language of st vincent de paul
full of dishonest platitudes
the fuckers stabbing you in the back at the first opportunity
help everybody tell nobody or vice versa
entropy on a country-wide scale
that did not get us far
but about 2 million left
thus freeing up some cubicles
for those being lined up to get fucked by the catholic church
an event brought to you in association with 
the government of Ireland
there was a good bit of the cattle prod in this process
we hear more about it every year
the weak got prayed/preyed upon
they are not called the weak for nothing
thus they attract the attention of the flies of society
I was schooled by the christian brothers myself
I can attest that they were cunts of the highest order

Note.. language here is never straightforward, people are often  / usually not saying what they mean, you have to scratch at it to get that, Ireland is famous for it. This is the first poem in a series playing upon the various 'languages' we use ourselves. 

Profanity here (in Ireland) is used like diacritical marks in French, sometimes there is no substitute for a word of that flavour.. :-)
