12 july

the bonfires are lit
6 stories high
disrespect and fear.
northern ireland is burning
just like every year.
marches, lambegs, and pipes
short strand surrounded
two murders in 9 days
paramilitaries tit-for-tat
please, God, not tonight.
my house smells like smoke
bands march tomorrow
please peace over my country
please no headlines.
