This is a beautiful tribute poem read by Sean Reilly which I've been meaning to load for some time. Sean who is as fine a singer as you're likely to meet, writes both poetry and prose and is a member of both The Meath Writers' Circle and The Small Impact Writers' Group in Navan. A number of other videos are posted further back and are worth looking up. This is from the August meeting.

Where have all poets gone?
Base Details!
 |
| The Boyne Navan |
There is a poem further back by Siegfried Sasoon called "Base Details" about those petulant Majors who from the comfort of their armchairs sent them up the line to whatever and I was reminded of that last night looking at the protests of the special needs people outside Leinster House. There has been a lot of that lately everytime someone comes on the media chanting the old mantra of "we must all share the pain!" and ok but don't ask someone to do what you won't do yourself, and if there are sacrifices to be made then you have get out front and make them. Hiding behind those perks is fine but nobody will follow and while the Chateau looks lovely it comes with a price whatever "ism" you fancy.
