How many more, like them in their time
Jailed, being patriotic a crime
Men and women in their prime
Some set to be hung or shot.
Who could tell in 1923
When Dev was in Kilmainham, he
Followed by Bobby Sands would be
And more: the best Ireland had got.
Whether Kilmainham or the Maze
In these current or those more distant days
The same story always plays
Will it ever end? I think not.
