Dán do Bhríd (Poem for Brigid)

 

so you give Bríd the mother goddess a day

and you say hip hip hooray

put in the same breath you talk behind

closed doors

culling our cattle for a lie

and then the same breath you let

technological experiments take lives

and in the same breath

you put neurotoxins in our water supply

and in the same breath

you fill our land and our water

we pesticides

and in the same breath

you block out our sunlight

and all that you do is affecting future

Generations fertility

true

but you give Bríd a day and you say hip

hip hooray

good thing

goddesses

don't take holidays
