Notes The speaker of the poem describes an unnamed people minoritized and brutalized by an oppressor, who fight back tenfold and will someday, according to the speaker, rise up in glory. Since the context of this poetry collection is the Irish peacekeeping missions, this poem could refer to the minoritization and purging of the Kosovo people and identity, although this is not specified in the poem.
