Martin McGuinness

You never lost the faith Martin you died
leaving your beloved family and Bogside
a peacemaker they  injected you for sure
damn foreign agents of war never content
your frame faded but not your sweet smile 
they talked about you as if they knew nothing
you carried a gun when you saw the kicked
in doors and old men pulled from bed late
women and children dragged out in the street
you carried a gun as any solider of war would
then you became a politician for peace making
Martin McGuinness  a true man of the people.
