MOCK JUSTICE
 
APRIL THIRD 2013 Kieran Mc Manus was shot dead at
the pizza placed were he worked. WHY, don’t know.
But since June 26- 1966 the  callous killing of working men
such as Peter Ward has been the way of society in Belfast City.
Michael Scullion another innocent worker murdered.
So began the litany of  killing ‘workers’-
on each side of the political divide.
 
Belfast living is a myth of jest amidst the death of working
men trying to feed their families.  Women as well hear
the death knell knocking at their door, thugs proclaiming
we have the political right to condemn you to death
Such is the plight of  working men and women in Belfast City.
It remains a mystery, why the so called peace accord allows
thugs to run amuck and mock Justice.
 
Here we are in the 21st first century and still we allow the
genesis of yesteryear to mock our actions. When shall
men and women stand together and condemn the senseless
murders of workers. In Belfast, as all around the world these
cains are allowed to roam whilst their brothers lie cold in
their graves, grieved over by caring parents and lovers
