| Notes | While not explicitly naming a country or region, this short poem is likely referring to some aspect of the United States' War on Terror in the Middle East. This is signified by the reference to the 'eagle of gluttony' - 'iolar na suthaireachta' in the fourth line of the poem. The United States, especially its military, is often represented as an eagle. The speaker of the poem is dismissive of the ongoing war, describing it as the bullies being on top once again. Peace and justice themselves are in hiding from these 'bullies.' |
