Wadda Ya Want?A bogman's Dream
A bogman’s dream
By Michael Liam Thomas Shannon
Mourne’s Mountains slope to inland sea
The shore ringed by meadows green,
There I walk and prattle on to dog or sheep
Or wind that would upon my desire
and fantasy, to listen.
Master of the moor, Lord of all I see.
Would that all could see me thus
Without hate or animus,
But sad return I to my work
No royal sash upon my breast
I pile the peat to dry for fires
That light the castle of my lord.
I draw the patchwork shawl around,
My stomach aches for night’s spare meal.
Amongst the meadows strewn with stones
Amongst the sheep and misted breeze
Lie my clansmen’s moldering bones.
Brave hearts that sing of cause and cross,
Fellow brothers of the myth
that harshly awakens to reality.
How long will we suffer England’s yoke
And slumber in our slavery?
