Sean Maguire with a poem from a published collection of his work.
Divided Stories
Th ree decades, of lives lost.
Divided stories.
Cold as bitter frost.
Memories of the dead,
are misused again, and again.
Politicians, play petty games,
of ‘us’ and ‘them’.
Notions of truth, are torn apart.
The rumor mills, pour scorn.
➽Seán Maguire has been writing poetry, song lyrics, short stories and non-fiction for over thirty years and has had a considerable amount of his work published in magazines, newspapers, anthologies and online blogs. The above poem is taken from his collection For Those Left Behind.
