| Notes | This poem is composed in the form of a song with verses and choruses. While location is not specified in the song, the references to the burning down of mosques, libraries, and churches is likely significant, as is its date of initial publication (2004) to interpreting it as a poem about the effects of the War on Terror on ordinary people. The descriptions of the rabble - as wearing white habits and gloves - appears to be significant. Of note is the description of 'An Scúp Laethúil' - i.e. the 'Daily Scoop' in the poem. This may refer to a slang term for news and journalism. |
