Heritage
In my secret heart I’ve felt
Like a blood-crazed Celt,
Scottish, Irish, either one,
Killing Britons with my gun.

Or with broadsword or with knife,

Celtic reverie must pass,
Like a distant, dimming dream
Drowning in a dank, swift stream....

Reactionary
Hearing the sound of distant bagpipes
Thrills my soul of souls
Tingles flow around my head
My neck feels cold exposed
The call awakes attention gone

A foggy mist of temper lairs
Ancestral juices flow
Don’t mess wi me
I’m still sa free as e’er  can be
This life  t’be enjoyed the more
This far in flow from Innisfree 
And cold Culloden moor...
