Ireland
Ireland the Emerald Isle fought many bloody wars
While trying to bring Northern Ireland and Southern Ireland together
Far more than the Americas who were trying to bring the South and North
It took a lot of tugging and pulling but the Americans got their act together
And they won the civil war finally joining the North and South together
The Northers cheered and hollered about their victory
While the South hung their heads down low refusing to look any Northern in the eye to admit their defeat
It took a lot of revolutionary men and women of Ireland
To make a lot of noise stirring up a lot of fuss
For their fellow Irishmen and Irish women and even Irish children
To do something about English British rule after all they've been ruling for the last 700 bloody years
After many gruesome bloody murders of Irish men, women and children; young, old and everything in between
All too ensure that Ireland stayed under British rule
But the Irish people weren't afraid of the English anymore
They saw them as weaklings even with all the power they had and all the arms they had
They would rather die by the hand of the British whatever why they saw fit; because they were going to protect the land they loved
But the Irish men women and children perseveres and that good old Irish determination won in the end
Which caused the British to admit defeat but that doesn't mean they left emptied hand
The English handed Michael Collins 26 counties but the English kept the remaining six
Ireland is nothing like America driving on forever till you see a sign to make sure your going the right way
You're sure to get lost your first time around
I am sure everyone did I mean all the roads look the same it's like a god damn maze
It's sure to cause a lot of headaches and definitely cause a lot of fights
And another thing the houses are so far apart in every county
But when you start driving through the county of Fermanagh
You start to notice some changes in the road signs instead of black and yellow
The same color as those blasted annoying bumblebees
Their gray and black now tell me what comparisons you can make with that
Hopefully it's not a Diet Coke can
America is enriched in history compared to Ireland
The Americans are proud after all their hard work payed off as to America is now
Shouldn't Ireland be to instead of all this wishy washy turmoil that they are in now
Ireland seems to be the country everyone overlook I don't why
It's rich in history and a lot of bloody wars were won and lost
Sure this poem I wrote will poke someone's interest and they will give the Emerald Isle a look
