Belfast

Deep insideMy soul fights a warI can’t explainI can’t cross over any moreAll I see are dirty facesRain and wireAnd common sense in piecesBut I try to see through Irish eyes, Belfast. Look outsideSummer’s lost and goneIt’s a long walkOn a street of right and wrongIn every inch of sadnessRock and tanksGo hand in hand […]

Have Mercy On The Criminal

Have mercy on the criminal,Who is running from the law,Are you blind to theWinds of […]
