Ireland’s recession
Ireland’s recession
As the sun sets on this economic boom
Awakened in the face of our own doom
We are left wondering what fate will hold
But fate was in your hands, if the truth be told
And by God it shall, you planted no seeds
Purely succumb to your own greed
And come next season when the spring arrives
And no harvest produced before your eyes
Who will be charged with this downfall?
The government, the English? Well I blame you all
You listened not to surrounding sounds
Greed kept focused, money bound!
You didn't build within your city gates
And now threes no money, and time’s too late
As a new world will be born when this one dies
All that shall remain is Irish cries
Produce of greed from Irish lies
A baron land and winter skies
“Oh Europe, free us from our debt we pray
you cant let one of yours live in this way”
When comes the question of how you spent
And what would you do different
If time went back, but your knowledge not
Would you do things differently with this second shot?
My fear is you would not, and the masses yearn
For no lessons in this time have been learned
