Troubled by "The Troubles," the Ulster boy
harbored no malice in his black stone heart
even as he prayed on his knees to God.
Under the wooden floorboards he heard mice
listening to him pray under his breath,
silence stirs in words to God the Maker;
troubled by "The Troubles," God saw no end
even in His omniscience and He cried
real tears for the Ulster boy in pity.
Bothered by his bloody knees, his mother
ordered Liam to stop praying to God,
yet, the boy saw no other solution.
