Litir chuig Julian/ A Letter to Julian

Dear Julian

Dear Julian,
Are you losing your mind?
America has no mind left
Britain has no mind left
Hang on to your mind.
Are you losing heart?
America has no heart
Britain has no heart
Hang on to your heart
Who is Vanessa Baraitser?
Who is this judge
Who looked into your soul?
America has no soul
Britain has no soul
Julian, look into your own soul
Your own mind
Your own heart
You looked into the heart of the world
And the world lashed back in fear and terror:
Do not show us our world, it said.
Julian, hang on to your mind
Hang on to your heart
Hang on to your soul

A Julian, a Chara

A Julian, a chara,
An bhfuil do mheabhair á cailliúint agat?
Níl aon mheabhair fágtha ag Meiriceá
Níl aon mheabhair fágtha ag an mBreatain
Tabhair aire do d'aigne.
An bhfuil lionn dubh os cionn do chroí?
Tá Meiriceá gan chroí
Tá an Bhreatain gan chroí
Tabhair aire do do chroí

Cé hí Vanessa Baraitser?
Cé hí an breitheamh seo
A d'fhéach isteach i d'anamasa?
Tá Meiriceá gan anam
Tá an Bhreatain gan anam
A Julian, féach isteach i d'anam féin
D'aigne féin
Do chroí féin.
D'fhéachais isteach i gcroí an domhain
Is thug an domhan aisfhreagra feargach ort, lán d'uamhan:
Ná léirigh sinn féin dúinn féin, ar sé.
A Julian, tabhair aire do d'aigne
Tabhair aire do do chroí
Tabhair aire do d'anam
