Jump To Comment: 3 2 1Thses are the people that sold out the memory of Bobby Sands and hig comrades
What did they die for:
'POW status in freestate jails
PSF have sold this out by accepted the GFA which advovates Republican prisoners as criminals
Reject Republican revisionism,support Republican resistance to British rule
The glorious memory of the hunger strike martyrs has been betrayed by the avaricious leadership of today. Shame Slab Murphy shame
Dear Mum
Dear Mum, I know you're always there
To help and guide me with all your care,
You nursed and fed me and made me strong
To face the world and all its wrong.
What can I write to you this day
For a line or two would never pay
For care and time you gave to me
Through long hard years unceasingly.
How you found strength I do not know
How you managed I'll never know,
Struggling and striving without a break
Always there and never late.
You prayed for me and loved me more
How could I ask for anymore
And reared me up to be like you
But I haven't a heart as kind as you.
A guide to me in times of plight
A princess like a star so bright
For life would never have been the same
If I hadn't of learned what small things came.
So forgive me Mum just a little more
For not loving you so much before,
I give my thanks for eternity.
