Tainted by the few
Don't assume that because I am white
To stop being a victim, I haven't had to fight
Racism is not only affected
By the colour of your skin
It's all about the legacy of
The company your in
London, 1970's, Irish poor
As IRA adopted the terrorist law
Bomb scares many, sent home from school
Dad in factory, working to rule
Miners on strike, high price of coal
To have a hot bath, an unrealistic goal
All Irish are murderer's, rogues and con men
The picture was painted and hard to defend
The Irish globally recognised, the trouble within
Proved to the world, it was a minority thin
Not overnight was this obtained
Nothing worthwhile is easily gained
The time bomb of terror, is the cause of divide
Behind the sheild of racism, can comfortably hide
I turn to Churchill to misquote and bring meaning new
Never has so much been blamed on so many,
Due to the acts of so few.

Very politically charged, very brave. You definitely tell the story well. Captured well the feelings involved. Very good.

Very nice write. A great flow, the rhyming is doesn't seem forced, and the message is a great one too. |
