The national liberation struggle for justice by the Irish people of no property, is part of the struggle against imperialism, as a corrupt system brought to Ireland originally by the British colonialists. Eight centuries of Irish struggle with intense oppression and exploitation of its children, women and men, has created the necessity, inevitability of a revolution, leading all-the-way to physical, mental, emotional and spiritual liberation, as part of a worldwide revolutionary process.
Justice and Peace Shall Kiss
I am slowly waking to a dirt floor
damp air world. I am waking up
to my younger sisters’ aged faces,
failing teeth, quiet determination.
I am waking up to women worrying
for children gone in hope and missed
in sorrow. I am waking up.
At this dawn we greet, hug, hold—
a cariñoso kiss—among sisters
from different worlds but with hearts
in a common place—a morning
greeting for a day of challenge.
I am waking up.
Se Besarán la Justicia y La Paz
Despacio despierto en un mundo
con pisos de tierra, aire húmedo,
a las caras envejecidas de mis hermanas
menores, dientes quebrados, con tranquila resolución.
Despierto a mujeres preocupadas por niños que salieron
en esperanza y echaban de menos.
Duelo constante. Despierto.
En el amanecer nos saludamos, nos abrazamos, nos agarramos----
Un beso cariñoso---entre hermanas
De mundos distintos pero
corazones semejantes ---un saludo matutino
para un día de retos
Despierto.
