As a young adult living and growing
up in West Belfast I ask this question to the more
experienced, more educated and more mature.
Growing up through the end of the troubles and all
of the lead up to the GFA, I am left disillusioned.
Why are we still in this position in 2004?
Why can't we?
If I could draw your attention to Georgia, not so
long ago there was a "Velvet Revolution"
where every man, woman and child was out and made
a stand!! A Revolution without a single shot being
fired.
Why can't we!
What is really preventing the more experienced, more
educated and more mature in organising at the grass
roots level a movement, whatever your political ethos?
The Main thing is Irish Unity. In every large city
and town. Using the Worlds Media to show that the
majority of the people want Ireland as a Sovereign
Nation not as a partitioned country.
Why can't we!
Why can we not show the world that we are strong,
tight, united people instead of the disillusioned
fractured, divided and partitioned people.
Why can't we!
What's to stop the political parties north and south
from contributing to a demonstration in Dublin or
Belfast with the support of their respected electorates
to show that we as a nation want to be one?
Why can't we!
Why can't the Free state (5 million) stand up and
show the world that they are equal and they recognise
that their Irish brothers and sisters in the northern
6 counties still work on their behalf to unite the
country- why can we not see that the people of the
free state care?
And could some tell me how 1 million
unionists are able to prevent 5 million Irish people
to reunite their country?
If it was a Democracy, I always thought that it was
the majority that won a debate.
The State of Israel, 5 million population, it defends
itself and it has its right to self rule. Bordered
by 3 other countries and a small country was able
to defend itself in a war that lasted 6 days!!!
Ireland cannot even show the world that it wants to
be united.
Irish People need to take some pride
in themselves; a united Ireland with a stable economy
is better for all people of all political strands.
Decisions need to be made by the people. It's time
for the people to speak, not for and elected few to
speak on our behalf.
Why can't we!!
Why can't we do it right one time!!!
Why can't we show the unionists that
a united Ireland is much more better than being a
leech of Britain?
Why can't the people speak up!!! Stand Up for our
rights and let the world know that we will have what
is rightfully ours.
The land of saints & scholars.
Bertie Ahern holds the presidency of the EU and yet
with all that influence we can not get cohesion in
Ireland; the seeds of division were sown by the British,
with our country people too busy with their own personal
agendas. Irish America 40 million+ are there to help
if only we do it right and do it right one time with
the help of all!!
