I'Ll Never See The Wolfe Tones Poem by Adens Kamwi

My life is shortened because of me
But I am not in misery
There’s just one thing that saddens me
The Wolfe tones live I’ll never see
The greatest ballad band I’ve heard
My voice rings out to every word
I feel like I am in the crowd
As for peace they sing out loud
Songs of freedom songs of peace
Songs of love and pains release
Stories of rebels that touch my heart
I feel I was with them from the start
They talk of Pearce and the g.p.o.
Of prisons where the heroes go
There’s a song of peace and liberty
That really reaches out to me
The Wolfe tones sing of stories true
And some of those tales make me blue
Like “Boston rose” and the haunting “Grace”
I feel like I am in that place
And though Ireland still bears a heavy load
With the beautiful land I’m on “the one road”
Though I don’t know for sure how long I’ll survive
I know I’ll never see them live
But here at home on my fave DVD
I feel their fans are here with me
HURRAH THE WOLFETONES….
