SOUL, BY PRONCIOUS O CUINN – PEARSE SOCIETY GALBALLY/CAPPAGH

From six foot deep came tall soldiers
Under a shadow of marble long bodies
Cast their feet in line forward into light
Where moon illuminates scars on Shoulders
Like bold welts on fossils of stone

Soul of the revolution in ground has
Become a new ray for freedom reach
Deep into earth give a hand to those who
Dare raise it for their own country’s right to
Be the living reflection of those who died un-free

Pull them from sallow resting place
Lift their heads point them toward the sun
expose the misty unforgiving freaks who
Hide behind various crosses spuriously
Mocking those who didn’t choose a last kiss
