| Notes | The speaker of this poem compares the reactions of the Catholic church to the Troubles in Northern Ireland, and the activities of priests themselves in Negros, an island nation of the Philippines. The speaker of the poem notes that the Irish Bishop criticizes the Northern 'terrorists', while Negros priests themselves have gone out to fight in the war between the New People's Army and the government. It is quite likely that this poem is partially based on this news footage: https://www.rte.ie/archives/2017/0717/890826-reluctant-revolutionaries/ |
