Liam ó Comáin - THE IRISH 'FAMINE'

It was not what they called it br For the latter is born from nature br And therefore not man made. br br This was man made- br In fact an attempt by non natives br To end a race via genocide. br br Thousands upon thousands dead br Thousands upon thousands forced br Into exile across the globe. br br And for what- four green fields br Whose produce was exported br As men, women, and children starved. br br Of course the potato was blighted br But corn and other produce left our br Shores while inhumanity was confirmed.
