It is Home
It is Parent
It is Joy at the growth
It is Sorrow at the hatred
It is Awe at the history
It is Shame at the racism
Its is Satisfaction in it’s achievements
It is Annoyance at the Politicians
It is Happiness in it’s natural beauty
It is Anger at it’s destruction
It is Quiet Silence in it is ancientness
It is Shouts of Rage at Injustice
It is Delight at our rise internationally
It is Fury at outdated stereotypes
It is Passion for our culture
It is Fear of it’s disappearance
It is Pride in calling yourself Irish when away
It is Humiliation for killings carried out in your
name
It is Hope for the future, bright and welcoming
It is Tears for out past, so violent and tragic
It is So Much more then this pen can express
It is Home
It is Ireland
