Today, 17th May, has been designated the first ever 'National Famine Memorial Day' in Ireland.

The Hungry Grass

They buried them like praities in the hungry grass

The only sustenance they knew before

Oh rue the Oomycete and blight

The flight, the fight - tight innards of the desperations 

An Gorta Mór, the murderers and cursed

 Mórrígan of the English lords and king

“Oh master save my siblings and the kids”

Die, scum of rutting pigs!

Pre-Auschwitz genocide - they pit my dead

Bulldoze them in the bloated cut

Danu weep, they glut your sacred realm

Ireland grieve and rail!
