The Flames of Innocence
The flames of Innocence Burn bright against The darkness Of oppression and hatred Wrapped in foul obsession Cringing in fear Of truth's bright beams of light. For justice, Is once again Emerging from where she Had been banned To the singing of the people As they march together Hand in hand With flames for the innocent As their song Throughout the land.
Written by Richard McIlkenny whilst jailed by the British for a crime he did not comitt.
