Maghera

 

     “A man was shot in Maghera today…”.

Surely some noble creed had sanctified

This deed of wrath, this devastating force?.

     The creed, alas!, was godless Anarchy.

But fear it is prevents both Prelates’ words

And Politicians’ acts. Immoral fear

That to resist is worse fate than to yield.

     That fear gives credence to those policies

Which, in the name of Freedom, abrogate

All human dignities, all human rights.

That fear destroys the weak, enslaves the strong.

     The cult of Anarchy must be excised,

Together with its wicked, dialectic cant,

Before such tragedies as Maghera will cease.
