In A Bog Of Brown, A Message From God? Poem by Tomás Ó Cárthaigh

In a bog of brown... a message from God?
What else could this find be...
A plea to their lord to defend from those
Who the death of the name of Israel would like to see?

A wonder from a thousand years
Never before known to exist
And a man with a slane, like Christ, so humble,
So easily could have destroyed it, or missed...

And in the peat of an Irish bog
It lay hidden until the day
Whan an Israel existing to their god pleaded
Against those whod love to smash her away...

And in the land of the Aryan (Iran)
Once again markings they have to wear,
While waiting to be found in an Irish bog...
A message from God, was it that was there?

While myself sympathethic to the Palestinian cause, the recent conflict was shown in a new light with recent events: a discovery of a 1000 year old book open at a page asking Gods help agaianst those trying to wipe out Israel...

Painstakingly copied in Latin script, it was found open to a page describing Psalm 83, in which God hears complaints of other nations’ attempts to wipe out the name of Israel. '
