Frankie Quinn with a poem from his book Open Gates.

Murder

They’ve killed them all
The words of the poet
The colours of the painter
The lines of the actor
The feet of the dancer
The diversity of the academic
The revolutionary student
The experience of the old
The innocence of the young
The idealist’s dream now rests with
Stone people.

⏩ Frankie Quinn is a former republican prisoner who is now a community activist. He is the author of Open Gates, a book of poetry.
