I saw the new camp for the internees:
A bomb had left a crater of fresh clay
In the roadside, and over in the trees
Machine-gun posts defined a real stockade.

And it was deja-vu, some film made
Of Stalag 17, a bad dream with no sound.

In Ballymurphy. Competence with pain,
Coherent miseries, a bite and sup:
we hug our little destiny again.
