A selection of Isolation Poetry
I was fortunate to be selected to take part in an iniative organised by Poetry Ireland with the Global Brain Health Institute (Trinity College Dublin) and Neuroscience Ireland in January 2021.
My line is immediately after the great John Sheehan of the Dubliners.
Leave a CommentOn Eire’s Land, We Stand Together, Yet Apart, Hand In Hand
We Fight For Justice, Freedom, Equality
The Right To Own Our Own Bodies,Minds And Souls
The Right To Control Our Own Destiny’s
Be Master’s Of Our Own Desires
Wherever We May Roam
Near Or Far From Home
We Are The Birthers,The Carers
The Care Givers The Care Takers
The Doers, The Thinkers,The Believers The Educators, The Life Changers
The SHE Movement From Child, Maiden,Mother To Crone
We Are The Voice And Face For Change
For Those Who Were And Are Still Silenced By Shame
Cut,Battered,
Bruised, Coercion,
The Loss Of Their Will
On The Shoulders Of Giants,Women Who Have Paved Our Way Forward
Women Of Old, Who’s Stories Are Told
They Are Known By Their Needs And Deeds
The Ones Who Have Gone Before
Have Opened Many Doors
Have Taught Us When We Stand Our Ground
We Have The Strength,The Power, The Will,
To Break Glass Ceilings All Around
So As We Celebrate Our Day
Give Gratitude For The Gift Of Transgeneration Healing And Change
As Women Come Together
Choosing To Challenge For Change
Knowing That Their Sisters Worldwide
Are Firmly By Their Side.
