Michael Longley - Ceasefire

[@patriciafitzgerald4771]

I can't help but think of Palestine when I read this Irish poem 😢

[@TheEddieVedder]

I get down on my knees and do what must be done, And kiss Achilles hand...the killer of my son.
Superb

This poem was published on the front page of The Irish Times on 3rd September 1994, 3 days after the IRA ceasefire came into effect.
