Opposite Sides : Inspirational Poetry

written by Poet : Paul McCann


 

 

Everyone ran for cover as the guns came out .

Tommy guns ripped apart Belfast's streets and no one accepted defeat .

 

Opposite sides seldom met without a firey debate ,

And conflict resolution , well nobody could ever greet. 

 

Everyone ran for cover as a hail of bullets flew through the bitterness of what was introduced that August night .  

 

M16 Carbines against 303 SLR's , Brownings and Armalites ,

Internment was the reason for the fight  .

 

Everyone ran for cover as snipers from opposite sides crawled like spiders on rooftops with snider mags three bags full .

 

Out of the line of fire fell a dawn with dead on both sides and the body count

Grew until the final tally was just cruel .
