| Notes | The speaker of the poem describes the fate of Palestine, once a country, and now only officially named in a street name in Belfast in the Holylands area of the city. Drawing a comparison, the speaker mentions that one day, 'Northern Ireland' may only exist as a street name in London itself. Commentary on the legacy of British colonialism. |
