Die Religion ist das Opium des Volkes
Karl Marx
I ndiaidh an ionsaithe
tagann ár nAire Cosanta ar Prime Time
agus comhairle aige do mhuintir na hÉireann
aip sábháilteachta an rialtais a cheadú.
Fastaím!
Agus do shrón sáite agat sa rud amaideach sin
leagfaidh an chéad tiománaí buile eile thú
sula mbeidh deis agat fón cliste a rá.
Fón cliste. Ár ndia nua.
Cromaigí bhur gceann.
Westminster Attack
Die Religion ist das Opium des Volkes
Karl Marx
After the attack
our Minister for Defence appears on Prime Time
advising the citizens of Ireland
to consult the government’s safety app.
Nonsense!
With your nose stuck in that stupid thing
you’ll be mowed down by the next maniac driver
faster than you can say smartphone.
Smartphone. Our new god.
Bow your heads.
(A poem in Irish & English by Gabriel Rosenstock, issued in the interest of public safety).
