   We Hold These Things To Be Self-Evident

   Big wheels keep on turnin’
   Carry me home to see my kin
   Singing songs about the southland
   I miss Brughas city once again

   Well I read what Ian said about her
   Well, I heard ole Niall put her down
   Well, I hope They both do remember
   A southern man don’t need them around

   Sweet home Dublin City
   Where the skies are so blue
   Sweet home Dublin City
   Where the ICA where formed

   In West Belfast they love the gov’ner,
   Now we all did what we could do,
   Now Stormongate does not bother me
   Does your conscience bother you
   (Now tell the truth.)

   Sweet home Dublin City
   Where the skies are so blue
   Sweet home Dublin City
   Where the ICA where formed

   And I hope O’Broin Does Remember
   Barrys Column came from Cork
   If they should ever reconsider
   WW1 is in the past

   An Ode To Black Ireland-

   Somebody wake me I’m dreaming, I started as a seed the semen
   Swimming upstream, planted in the womb while screaming on the top, was my pops, my momma screaming stop
   From a single drop, this is what they got
   Not to disrespect my peoples but my poppa was a loser
   Only plan he had for momma was to fuck her and abuse her
   Even as a little seed, I could see his plan for me
   Stranded on welfare, another broken family
   Now what was I to be, a product of this heated passion
   Momma got pregnant, and poppa got a piece of ass
   Look how it began, nobody gave a fuck about me
   Pistol in my hand, this cruel world can do without me
   How can I survive? Got me asking white Jesus
   will a nigga live or die, ’cause the Lord can’t see us
   in the deep dark clouds of the projects, ain’t no sunshine
   No sunny days and we only play sometimes
   When everybody’s sleeping
   I open my window jump to the streets and get to creeping
   I can live or die, hope I get some money ‘fore I’m gone
   I’m only 19, I’m trying to hustle on my own
   on the spot where everybody and they pops trying to slang rocks
   I’d rather go to college, but this is where the game stops
   Don’t get it wrong ’cause it’s always on, from dusk to dawn
   You can buy rocks glocks or a heroin
   You can ask my man he’s a mind reader
   And my reply till they kill me
   Act up if you feel me, I was born not to make it but I did
   The tribulations of a ghetto kid, still I rise

   The House Negroe and The Field Negroe,I’m A Field Negroe.-Malcolm X

   The Greatest Weapon of The Oppressor is The Mind of
   The Oppressed-Stiofáin Biko.ANC

   Our Greatest Weapon is our Mind-Mairead Farrell-Oglaigh Na hEireann.

   Gluaiseacht air Strae.-‘Class distinction is to be seen in the Gaeltacht more than in any other part of Ireland.Marx,Engels and Lenin would have found clear proof of their conviction that the men of property,the Capitalists,are quickest to betray the peoples culture.The poor were the Gaelic speakers.Class hatred burned in me before i ever read a word of Connolly or Das Kapital.When i did read them i understood immediately what they were about.Today the same position holds in Gaelic-speaking Ireland.You have only to look at the way the people of property in the Gaeltacht are killing of the culture and the language of the people.Is their a hatred in the propertied class in the Gaeltacht towards me and my like?Certainly their is.It is not i who affirms the class war.The Hotel Owners carry on this war from from day today,year to year,operating against the lower class and its culture.-M.O.C.-
   Connemara Native Máirtín O Cadhain was Black listed from the Gaeltacht Schools and dismissed from his post as in Carn Mor by Bishop O’Doherty.He’d grown up in the Cnocan Glas and had to leave to move to Dublin to work as a Labourer.I remember as a 10 year-old child growing uo on a council estate in Dublin and having to watch my 12 year-old sister getting dragged by the hair along the ground and been called a Nigger.Because she is Black-The experience of The urban ‘field negroe
   In 80s Dublin,was not that dissimilar too the experience of the rural field negroes like Martain O’Cadhain in the Gaeltacht speking areas of Connemara in the late 60s.Day to Day.Year to Year.

   I’m a Field Negroe-Anto X.

   The election of a Gaeilgeoir as Mayor has shown how far we have progressed since 1969.
