| Paratext Text | - Do William Leo Coaklye agus i gcuimhne ar Robin Prising Hyde Park, Londain, 12 Aibreán 2003 |
| Notes | This poem is dedicated to William Leo Coakley (poet) and Robin Prising, who was incarcerated in Manila camp by the Japanese, and who dedicated his life to anti-war causes. This poem is a description of an anti-Iraq war protest, held in London's Hyde Park on the 12th of April, 2003. The event was attended by over one million people. The speaker of the poem describes some of the tactics used by the protesters, including painting 'Peace' on trees, and hanging photographs, messages of hope, and images on the branches. The park wardens deal with these decorations by cutting off the branches of the trees. The speaker finds this 'cutting off' to be an apt metaphor for what is happening in Iraq - the cutting off of an already 'cut off' peoples by the greedy of the world. |
