00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.170 align:middle line:90%


00:00:01.170 --> 00:00:05.130 align:middle line:90%
I'll go over to that--

00:00:05.130 --> 00:00:10.230 align:middle line:84%
reciting a couple
of political poems

00:00:10.230 --> 00:00:14.820 align:middle line:84%
about freedom of expression,
which I'm also concerned with.

00:00:14.820 --> 00:00:19.290 align:middle line:90%


00:00:19.290 --> 00:00:24.600 align:middle line:84%
This one is called "Mockery
Against the Irish Censorship."

00:00:24.600 --> 00:00:27.900 align:middle line:90%
It's a take off on Irish form.

00:00:27.900 --> 00:00:31.390 align:middle line:84%
And I did it rather
deliberately.

00:00:31.390 --> 00:00:32.890 align:middle line:84%
And it comes with
a name like Dugan,

00:00:32.890 --> 00:00:36.630 align:middle line:84%
you get accused of what in New
York we ac call being a Third

00:00:36.630 --> 00:00:39.570 align:middle line:84%
Avenue Irishman that somebody
who pretends to be Irish

00:00:39.570 --> 00:00:40.380 align:middle line:90%
but really isn't.

00:00:40.380 --> 00:00:44.190 align:middle line:90%


00:00:44.190 --> 00:00:47.820 align:middle line:84%
I'm not really
Irish but straight

00:00:47.820 --> 00:00:55.260 align:middle line:84%
American called "Mockery
Against the Irish Censorship,"

00:00:55.260 --> 00:00:59.130 align:middle line:84%
"Mockery Against the
Irish Censorship."

00:00:59.130 --> 00:01:04.470 align:middle line:84%
Ireland was better in its dream
with the oppressor foreign.

00:01:04.470 --> 00:01:10.650 align:middle line:84%
Now, it's off leaves home to
Keane, and its voice is orange.

00:01:10.650 --> 00:01:14.340 align:middle line:84%
It is a sad revolt
for lovings health

00:01:14.340 --> 00:01:18.010 align:middle line:84%
that beats its enemy
and then itself.

00:01:18.010 --> 00:01:23.520 align:middle line:84%
Now that Irish men are free to
enslave themselves together,

00:01:23.520 --> 00:01:28.500 align:middle line:84%
they say that it is better
they do worse to one another

00:01:28.500 --> 00:01:33.060 align:middle line:84%
than have the English do them
good in an exchange of joy

00:01:33.060 --> 00:01:35.160 align:middle line:90%
for blood.

00:01:35.160 --> 00:01:40.980 align:middle line:84%
Just as alien pious black that
greens of lover's commerce,

00:01:40.980 --> 00:01:46.330 align:middle line:84%
rehearsing victory they lack a
government to fill its promise.

00:01:46.330 --> 00:01:50.970 align:middle line:84%
Worse, law has
slapped the silly harp

00:01:50.970 --> 00:01:55.110 align:middle line:84%
that was there once
and only art out.

00:01:55.110 --> 00:02:01.050 align:middle line:84%
And I am sorry to be flip
and narrowly disrespectful.

00:02:01.050 --> 00:02:04.830 align:middle line:84%
But since I laid
at home in it, I

00:02:04.830 --> 00:02:08.460 align:middle line:84%
stooped and take a
mouthful to splatter

00:02:08.460 --> 00:02:13.110 align:middle line:84%
the thick walls of their
heads with American insult.

00:02:13.110 --> 00:02:16.160 align:middle line:90%
Irish sense is dead.
