Michael Collins

It has often been said that empires come and go And from the beginning of time that has been so Empires ruled with terror and an iron fist Taking brutal action against those, who tried to resist. On the sixteenth of October in the year eighteen ninety Michael Collins was born near the town of Clonakilty He went on to become leader of the Irish Republican army And whose leadership and guidance, helped set Ireland free. In his youth he travelled to London, to try and find work And for nine years he worked, at the post office as a clerk He took an interest in, the Irish political scene And he later moved back to Ireland in nineteen sixteen. It was in nineteen sixteen on a cold wet Easter monday That the struggle for Irelands freedom was getting underway Many Irish nationalists decided, that they wanted to be Self governing and from Britain's empire, be free. Heavily outnumbered and outgunned the uprising failed The British crushed the rebellion and they had prevailed The ringleaders were all arrested and sentenced to death As a grave warning to others, but it wasn't over yet. Low ranking rebels were interned but were eventually freed But executions by the British had planted a growing seed Armed rebel units started forming all over Ireland Determined they all were, to make a final stand.
