Best Loyalists Poems


Give Ireland Back To the Irish

The familiar sound of gunshots 
rings out in the dead of night,
As a sniper takes position in the 
bushes out of sight,
Past my front door I hear the 
sound of many marching feet,
As 2 Para make their presence 
felt upon a Belfast street,
Gerry Adams does a hard days 
graft 'n' then it's homeward 
bound,
As a British soldier just 
nineteen lays bleeding on the 
ground,
Well he fought for queen 'n' 
country so it comes as no 
surprise,
As he draws his last 
breath,says a prayer and there 
a hero dies,
So many slain civilians(they're 
just casualties of war,
Do the f*ckers even realise 
what it is they're fighting for?
Or has the whole point of it got 
lost in the mists of time?
The Ira take credit for their 
latest deadly crime,
In a safe house miles from 
nowhere there's three loyalists 
lying dead,
One in a grave (he was buried 
alive) and two with one straight 
through the head,
But the score it was evened 
before the cock crowed,three 
catholic civilians were slain,
And there's rumours of 
vengeance and fights to the 
death and calls to keep calm 
from Sinn Fein,
As politicians armed with pens 
sit counting up lost lives,
The Ulster Paramilitary sit 
sharpening their knives,
And loading slugs into the clip 
of someone else's gun,
"Come on now lads there's dirty 
deeds awaiting to be done"
In Londonderry,County Down,in 
Belfast,Newry too,
The Catholics and the 
Protestants keep Ireland torn in 
two,
As our children grow in the 
shadow of fear,
There's a stench of death and 
bloodshed here,
So you with the power please 
give us the chance,
To find a solution and finish the 
dance,
Give Ireland back to the Irish 
pleeaasssse!
Or bring the whole damned 
nation crashing down to its 
knees.

Midnight Roll Call

International relations clerk on duty enters
In her hand is a list of nations from Africa
One by one she shouts out their surnames

The assembly monitors gives her feedback
confirming presence or absence that day

Nations present she gives a golden ribbon
The ones absent she paints with red crayon
Punctuated with cheers by loyalists she shouts;

“Libya”
He is admitted in hospital for intensive care
Last night he drove recklessly and fell into dish

“South Sudan”
Still in salon to shave off the bushy beards
It is not long since she came out of the bush



“Democratic Republic of Congo”
Can’t find his way here due to dangers
Ferocious squirrels litter impenetrable forests

“Uganda”
Look over there; in the bush catching hoppers
He wants to establish private silicon valleys

“Eritrea”
Went to sleep evening but has not woken up
I hear he has had long traumatic dreams

“Somalia”
Last evening he was hijacked by sea-pirates
But little is known about his whereabouts

“Nigeria”
Busy putting out bushfire in north-eastern zones
Lightning started it but none knows how to stop it


“Botswana”
Present. She is there with baskets of apples
The desert nation has plenty of reliable rainfall

“Libya”
Over there running. No one knows where he is going.
Possibly check with the ghosts of the Mediterranean

So 
many

they're 
just

the 
f*ckers 
even 
realise 
what 
it

they're 
fighting 
for?
Or 
has 
the 
whole 
point 
of 
it 
got 
lost 
in 
the 
mists 
of 
time,the 
I'R'A 
take 
credit 
for 
their 
latest 
deadly 
crime,
In 
a 
safehouse 
miles 
from

there's 
three 
loyalists 
lying 
dead,one 
in 
a

(he

But 
the 
score 
it

even 
before

crowed,three 
Catholic

were 
slain,  
And 
there's 
rumours 
of 
vengence 
and 
fights

calls 
to

calm 
from 
Sinn

As 
politicians 
armed 
with 
pens 
sit 
counting 
up 
lost 
lives,the 
Ulster 
Paramilitary 
sit 
sharpening 
their

And

gun,"Come 
on 
now 
lads 
there's 
dirty

In 
Londonderry,County 
Down,in 
Belfast,Newry 
too,the 
Catholics 
and 
the

keep 
Ireland 
torn

As

So 
you

Bloody Oriskany, Part I

In seventeen seventy-seven,
amidst the deep summer’s August heat,
Barry St. Leger, loyalist milita,
and the Iroquois walked on sore feet.

Their mission was clear: move down the Mohawk,
meet Burgoyne and split the rebel states,
except the Americans in Fort Stanwix
were effectively blocking their way.

To advance the fort had to be reduced,
but St. Leger’s force had few big guns,
so he settled into a siege of the fort,
with a mind to hold strong 'til he’d won.

But the patriots knew of the British plans,
and were not content to just sit and wait,
Tyrion County called up its militia
to save Stanwix from a bloody fate.

Eight hundred of them marched for the fort,
under the command of Nick Herkimer,
a palatine German of the Mohawk vale,
an able and determined fighter.

They stopped to camp not far from Stanwix,
and Herkimer counseled that they should hold,
to await a signal from inside the fort
and launch a two-front attack bold.

But the militia saw this as cowardice,
and said,”What else could we expect?
His own brother fights with St. Leger,
we can’t expect him to take the next step.”

Herkimer darkened at his men’s words,
and would not idly receive their scorn,
he ordered the men to be on the ready,
they would advance the following morn.

But the British knew of their approach,
and prepared to put them to the test,
near five hundred set out to intercept,
mostly Iroquois with some Loyalists.

The next day the Americans, on the move,
found themselves passing through a ravine,
unaware that eyes stared upon them
as they drank from a cool, tiny stream.

The British had planned to wait until
the patriots were all stretched out,
but some Indians opened fire too early,
a roar of muskets and loud piercing shouts.

The first volleys hit hard, stunned the militia,
a good many brave soldiers went down,
Herkimer took a ball in the leg,
and from a dying horse pitched to the ground.

So fierce was that first surprise attack,
so many patriotic souls shot dead,
that all sides involved said the tiny stream
was stained by the blood until red.

Some tried to move wounded Herkimer,
but he was still in no mood for retreat,
he took out a pipe, leaned on a tree trunk,
and said,”I will meet the enemy...”

Henry Washington

Black loyalist
One time slave of George Washington
Fighting with the British against rotten Yankees 
3000 blacks went with us and came with us 

In the States now
Black folks but seeming there now just left to rot
But cherished now our black loyalists in England
Part of us 

Last night I dreamt a dreary dream
Beyond the clashing rocks 
I saw a dead man win a fight
And I think that man was I

The Unknown Citizen

Blood runs hot in government offices
fueled with the unknown citizen
and the about-to-be.
Stop this day and night with me
and you shall possess the meaning
of freedom.
Follow the fluttering and tattered flag
and you'll find
the emptiness one dreams about.

Friendships made and unmade,
betrayals reveal political lines
on potholed roads.
(you're free?)
(we don't care, we don't care)

You're free, alone amongst
the party loyalists
and the damned.
Follow winding
corridors through closed doors.
Follow patriotic thoughts
and the hungry hyenas will gather.
Follow them on the untrodden land
and contingent lines you make.
Wander the scattered chiefdoms
into the horizons
which still keep the graves
and their remembrance alive.

Leaves With Love

LEAVES WITH LOVE

Better die with dignity in the fierce battle fighting like brave-heart
Than befriend with foes and back stab to live like machine’s cog or caged parrot

When the fetter is making my torn limbs numb
With wily smile, dragging me
Push they to guillotine


Echoing from lofty mountains my roar reached crescendo silencing the thunder-
You bloody cowards luring few of my own men have captured me by treason 
How treacherous and shameful! Deceitful victory is a celebration’s reason? 
Bleeding tears fail to douse my fury’s inferno against my betraying men no wonder


When blade ripped my neck
flowed my blood and loyalists' tears
Soul wished this flow cleansed
Double game and breach of trust
Leaves with love, praise and blessings

Hearts Burnt Out

The Hearts burnt out
with dying falls and cold, bone chilling winters.
(Love is gone for the fall and winter)
Just me, I stay alone
who walks the slushed streets and I sleep in the dirt grimmed gutters.
The hearts burnt out, but still a hint of love lingers
in the cold evenings of the winter falls.

The cold December nights are always the loneliest time
for a man to live alone in the dirty gutters of the ghettos.
And as the loyalists come marching down the cobblestone streets,
every heart with turn and fear.
The ones that do not go far, shall parish in eternal hell.
For the hearts are burnt out,
like the lamplights on the night of Kristallnacht.
The Jews of Malta, create fornication
and the hearts of the prostitutes hide with bruses and broken blood vessels,
on their faces and hands,
and they will hurry away to the dark shadows of lone alleyways
with hearts skipping beats, and hearts slowly burning out.

Premium Member Capitalism Unchecked

You wear virtue on your sleeve
But you often wear nothing at all
Showing scars of thousands of years
When corrupt leaders beat you
But they could never kill you
So you survived the centuries
You masquerade as a maryr 
To the displaced masses
You offer the guise of salvation
But greed feeds your desire

We should be happy
We should be dancing
They say we have it all
While others endure the fall
We feared the loyalists
We feared the little green men
We feared those in the hijab
For as long as we fear
We shall never see the truth
Of our own looming demise

You always sell pretty lies
To disguise an ugly truth
The scales remain imbalanced
And resentment festers
We're gears in the machine
And no matter how many
Throw themselves between the gears
The machine never stops
But now it's so odious
So sick at heart we don't take part

We're the land of opportunity
Unless you're a minority
Unless you're a woman
Unless you're a Muslim
Unless you're poor
Wealth concentration
A planet slowly dying
You survived the centuries
But you do not bring us salvation
You bring us damnation

Pygmalion

As an aperitif to understand the essence of thought
Blood of a young tortoise touched my lips
Seldom as it is - pure ichor – I whisper’d in a trot
Let me get drunk on it while deifying the lunar eclipse
That is what I deserve, that is what I ought.

Is loneliness a hook up with the animalistic self?
Wearing an anorak to withstand the wind of banality
In the midst of a blizzard of an entrenched life
Giving the advantage to the senses of vitality,
Not more than Dido ripping her heart with a knife.

Give me the rise of an insurrection I dreamt about as a boy
A rebellion that would let principles be a judge,
This would surely deliver the desire for joy,
Or an uprising of the loyalists that won’t fudge
But will steer clear off temptations or a ploy.
As a grey fakir I paint a picture into a smudge,
Away from an aureate garden of gild
Into a desolate dryness of a scorch’d land
With my sole soul strongly willed
And a single stroke of my angry hand.

I wished to give tonality in sound and in colour
While being smitten by the freshly cut grass
All the riches will never appease the dolour
As I stand next to a window made of the Venetian glass.

Here I am, in justice I fall
Being accused of playing Pygmalion
Exalted to the throne of Gaslight and all
Given the heart on the platter as a medallion
Draining an amassment of turbulence
From the cluster of words that smack the gob
And remain in our ears as stubborn permanence
And I run, and run, and run, non-stop.

Premium Member Vermin of a Lesser Sextant

It's a grand old boat-still quite reliable.
But from the darkness below.
A crimson breasted leviathan is clawing holes.
Deep into its starry soul.
She's quickly listing.
Vermin gnawing away at the sextant.
Panic is hastily jumping ship.
With the NorthStar stuffed in their bindles...

The loyalists are bailing water.
Hope garnished in salt and blistered.
Predators are slowly circling in.
To the sound of a cracked conche.
