ramblings and things
They dare to sit in judgement
Nearly fifty years on,
Raking over the coals of
Incidents long long gone.
After we are made to
Relive Bloody Sundays Hell
I hope they’ll investigate
The politicians as well.
In their Ivory Towers
They sleazily sit and wait
While from the benefit of comfort
Third parties will investigate.
How many of these people,
These judging figures,
Have been in the position
Of having to pull a trigger.
How many have faced
The prospect of death
Never quite knowing if your
Next may be your last breath.
A judgement made quickly
On a chaotic scene
And nearly fifty years later they
Try judge things that have been.
Perhaps mistakes were made
In the heat of the fighting
But dont lets forget that
Hindsight is a wonderful thing
Perhaps it’s time those in charge
Were made to confesss:
The squaddie was only there
To clear up the politicians mess.
Hindsight
