Paratext Text As A' Gabhail Ris le Maoilios M. Caimbeul, Gairm, 1994. Leaganacha Gaeilge le Liam Prut
Notes This poem details the speaker's support for death - inasmuch as death prevents tyrants from reigning for eternity. The speaker notes death's hand in the taking of Romanian dictator, Ceausescu, and the politician Alexander Craig Sellar, Scottish Liberal politician. The tyrant mentioned in the poem as having been recently dispatched by death - although not by name - could possibly be Kim Il Sung, dictator of North Korea.
