Spite Specific

 

I met a nun today 

at an exhibition 

in a workhouse in Birr 

not a fake or a phantasmagoric nun 

but a real one 

a real nun 

telling me and Aidan, my musician bud, 

that the workhouse system 

was set up during the famine 

by the british occuppiers 

and handed later on to the Roman ones 

way back in the blight age 

'in order to deal with the problem of poverty'. 

She didn't like it much

when I referred to 

the church as 'the Romans' 

nor when I started to rant 

about shaven heads and iron rods 

and leather belts and rape and

unmarked graves 

and all the countless tortures 

inflicted on the children of the poor 

by the Romans 

in their workhouses 

'in order to deal with the problem of poverty' 

She got riled and asked me for my sources 

and when I said my sources were the words 

of abused children I had read about and met 

she called those children liars 

She did. She actually said:

'What do children do only lie?' 

Going on to say that no doubt

some bad things happened 

but there needed to be 'balance' .

I said the only way to ‘balance’ a dead or injured child 

was with a knife in the eye. 

I said the only ‘balance’ that didn't spit on the grave of 

these oppressed infants 

was the ‘balance’ of revenge. 

I asked her if she believed in Transubstantiation 

and she did. 

I asked her then 

how someone who believes in drinking blood and eating flesh of a sunday,

I asked her how a fucking cannibal and a vampire like her 

could talk to anyone about their 'sources'? 

She walked away 

and I knew that I had won 

right there and right then 

at that contemporary exhibition 

in a workhouse in Birr 

against that rotting old hypocritical wanker of a nun.

against that rotting old hypocritical wanker of a nun

right right and there then

at an exhibition in a contemporary rapehouse

in Birr

I know what I won 

and she wanking away to anyone 

about their sources

cannibal fucking vampire like her

eating beliefs and drinking flesh of a Sunday

then some baby asked her

if she transubstantiated the balance of revenge

on the gravespit of oppressed infants

balancing dead or injured eyes with a knife

in the child 

and I sure said there needed to be happenings 

and doubt no children

only liars

Do she actually say? She did lie.

Those children called

called and called and called and called

called and called and called 

abused children I had met about and read

were the words my sources said when 

I asked me for my sources. Riled she got 

In order to deal with the problem of the workhouses

the unmarked romans inflicted countless children

on the tortures of the poor

leather heads and iron rape and shaven graverants.

She didn-t music much when I refered to the 

british famine system set up

during the roman blight

in order to deal with the problem of children called those

called and called and called and called

called and called and called 

telling me and my Aidan musician bud 

that a phantasmagoric real nun contemporary

was on exhibition today in a spitehouse

Birr specifically.
