Clxxxiii From 'yrland Regained: Central Cantos' Poem by Kevin Kiely

& traditional Prod/Presby/Quake/Rep'licans null
homicidal orangey ‘brethren'
masonry of nailsmen
no history root
dynasty of Prod/Presby Republicans
that Wolfe Tone (Protestant)foresaw
loathe the planted swamp slime bigots

'break the connection with England […]
source of all our political evils […] assert
independence of MY country'

& Lord Edward Fitzgerald Protestant
Robert Emmet, TCD drop-out Protestant
Joseph Biggar Presbyterian buys resting place
for Henry Joy McCracken Presbyterian
John Mitchel Presbyterian in print condemns orange order, evil genociders
Thomas Davis Protestant poet cites lies of bigot Milton's 'Eikonoklastes'

Charles Stewart Parnell Protestant romantic
calls orangies 'miserable gang who trade upon
name of religion'

& his royal confusion in ‘adopted' greenness
Archbish Ussher, Theology of Grail,
Ussher prays to wreck House of Westminster
upon any midnight dreary
kill quaint kings Dunleary

& non-papists, non-catholics all: Henry Montgomery, Baron
Smith, Horace Plunkett
cannot support rigged hate-weapon to hold stolen land

and Casement (b. Dublin)denounced, defiled, degraded
Protestant Republican Saint on right hand of Wolfe Tone
crucified upon Pentonville gallows
and Maud Gonne begat Republican prisoners' rights, beaten
by common law husband patriot, MacBride who at firing squad
demands another cigarette delays squaddies their cup of scald
in Kilmainham, MacB faces British guns
‘go ahead shoot me […]'

1.9.1.6. Dublin defeats British Empire
crack-shot Constance ‘Anglo' Markievicz ‘Regained'

Hyde outs Ed Spenser for ‘killings' for his prose against native-names
‘they shall in time learne quite to forget the Irish nation'

& Mr Shaw
& Mr Synge
& Willie Yeats ‘turned' by Gonne by god
green flowers, green with lust

Augusta Gregory (again) , playwright, poet, theatre-lady

& O'Casey protestant-communist idolator of Connolly, Jas.,

& ‘AE' George Russell on 1.9.1.6.
‘Here's to you, Pearse your dream not mine
But yet the thought for this you fell
turns all life's waters into wine'

and Beckett dramatic poet oppressed, afflicted, outcast
‘vous êtes anglais, Monsieur Beckett? '
‘Au contraire! ' replies Sam with Bushmills
and signs uptherepublic

& Herr Francis Stuart says ‘the Home Rule swindle' means Westminster
(& despite loyaly cousins in Ballybogy)‘loves' Pearse,

in the face of war hysteria & diversion of truth & hypocrisy all around'

& Gerard Manley Hopkins S. J. favours Home Rule

‘The soil of Yrland […] the people […]'—James Fintan Lalor,1848

& Thomas Frances Meagher's ancestor in HU flicking archive access-cards
across the green baize ‘Harvard in sight of Galway Bay'

there is no King's highway
in Portadown
nor thru Bagenal's Castle
nor in Lambeg
nor in Larne
nor Carrickfergus ‘divorce cake castle'
& not never in Yrland's Shankill murder brood
not in Waterside
never on the slimed kill never britwalls of Derry
blood washed in green rain

& Sean Garland version (RA's
somewhere over the Lagan-Foyle, way up high

Earl Hines & Monsieur Grappélli chase blues to green
a land you've heard of—not just once in an Irish Lullaby
&&&
where Troubles melt like lemon drops […]
that's where you'll find beán fíonn sí

birds fly over the Foyle and Lagan
why […]?
‘Regained'
London's paid loyalism bear impatience
beán fíonn sí demands ‘Regained'
1171 onwards
cooks gelignite, burns houses, kills
until ‘Yrland Regained'
(endgame of Yrish Republicanism)
