Forgotten Your Roots

Why do you hate, spitting venom and bile,

Throwing insults and rocks, nothing else worth your while?

Misinformation, repeating your tales

of imaginary "illegal unvetted males"

Screeching about hypothetical crime

While we must relive the desperate time

We begged you for help, we needed you then

But you wouldn't listen, they were white Irish men

If you stand with the bigots, the bullies and liars

Who damage our land and threaten with fires

Defending your stance "but I'm not a racist!"

Whilst walking their path, you may as well face it

Claiming care about those without any home

Then why does it matter the type of skin tone?

The Irish are that of a people widespread

All round the world like butter to bread

They flee violence, death, famine and wars

You've forgotten already, when leaving our shores

Our people themselves, fled undocumented

Also children of immigrants, we're forever connected
