You
colonised our country!
You
conspired with our enemies!
You wrote
our Constitution!
You forged
our laws!
You
intimidated our politicians!
You hijacked
our institutions!
You
destroyed our spirituality!
You
canonised the God of wrath!
You fed us
lies!
You told us
to hate our bodies!
You said our
souls were yours!
You made us
walk on pointed rocks!
You set our
diet!
You policed
our wombs!
You measured
our semen!
You micro-managed our genitals!
You invaded
our homes!
You used our
women!
You spied in
our bedrooms!
You
controlled our marriages!
You made us
breed like rabbits!
You beat us
in your schools!
You tortured
us in your orphanages!
You raped
our children!
You seduced
our youth!
You stole
our pennies!
You appropriated
our land!
You built
your palaces!
You ate our
food!
You drank
our drink!
You set our
diet!
You
imprisoned our pregnant young!
You banished
our different!
You killed
us in your hospitals!
You rejected
our still born!
You buried
us in sewer tanks!
You
interrogated us in your confessionals!
You turned
father against son
You scared
our doctors!
You
regulated our police!
You seduced
our judges!
You silenced our journalists!
You exiled our writers!
You silenced our journalists!
You exiled our writers!
You favoured
our rich!
You
castigated our poor!
You cleansed
our births!
You overshadowed
our life span!
You sold us
our graves!
You
controlled our eternity!
You did all
this and more!
For 1500
years!
Now that we
are finally breaking free of your chains,
Will THE
HELL you kept us in,
Come up with
a fitting punishment for you?

I'm glad the people of Ireland have courage. Questionis will there be sneering from behind curtains and will gay people be allowed to solemnise their union with dignity
