| Notes | The title of the poem gives much context to the poem itself: 'the murder of the just innocents'. The speaker of the poem implies strongly that this murderer of the innocents is the United States of America, due to the mention of 'réalta úd na córa' - those 'stars of justice'. The speaker of the poem describes the war machinery of the US - war fleets and armed helicopters, and also the voices of Nicaragua, San Salvador, and Central America in general, screaming, mourning, and keening loudly. Undoubtedly, this poem is a commentary on US interventions in Central American conflicts. |
