Subject: RE: BS: NI Police raid Sinn Fein offices, homes
Here's some verses I wrote that express my feelings on the Irish Question better than any amount of prose that I might muster.

COME ULSTER. Tune = Danny Boy

Some day to walk in peace though Ulster valleys,
That Red Hand land where once lived Danny Boy,
But Omagh Town and round by Ballynoney,
Are names of shame that once were pride and joy

Too many tears and years of blood and blunder,
For flag of green and streets red, white and blue,
Too long we've seen our people torn asunder,
Tear down these walls instead and start anew

Chorus
Come Ulster north, south, east and west together,
Through Antrim, Down, Fermanagh and Tyrone,
Through Armagh too, then view the Walls of Derry,
Together side by side and no more walk alone

Leave ancient days, and ancient ways, forever,
Within the rage and page of history,
With heart and hand, come Ulster stand together,
Come Ulster, build a new society

And let us walk in peace through Ulster valleys,
That Red Hand land where once lived Danny Boy,
Let Omagh Town and round by Ballymoney,
Again resound in peace and pride and joy.
