| Paratext Text | ar son an seacht mbilliúnú duine - |
| Notes | The title of this poem indicates that it is a prayer and the paratext indicates that it is dedicated to the seven billionth person on earth. This milestone was reached on October 31st, 2011, and the poet likely wrote this poem in commemoration of this momentous event. The speaker of this poem addresses the seven millionth person directly, wishing them freedom, happiness, education, and individuality. Reference is made to a variety of injustices and human rights violations that he hopes will not befall them including Female Genital Mutiliation (FGM), gendered abortion, and infanticide, the denial of a right to education and to adequate food. |
