Local Poet hits the nail on the head.

Local Poet Mariah Sims launched her first book of poetry at the Public Library in Kells last evening.I was honoured to be an invited guest.
The title of her book is "The colours of my world".It is a good read.
She is one of many people who feel betrayed by the austerity of the current Government and has penned the following poem as a result.

                          As we Don't like it.

Get them out,get them out,get rid of them
said the mother struggling every day to feed her kids.

Get them put,get them out.get rid of them
said the father about to lose the family home.

Get them out,get therm out,get rid of them
said the baby in the womb who wants the right to life.

Get them out,get them out get rid of them,
said the mother when she kissed her only son goodbye
as he set off for Australia.

Get them out,get them out,get rid of them,
said the widow who can't pay for her husband's funeral.

Get them out ,get them out,get rid of them
said the girl on a hospital trolley for three days
waiting for a bed.

We deserve the government we have ,we put them there said I.
Get them out,get them out,get rid of them.
