MARTYRS FOR OMAGH
Martyrs for Omagh
by Kathy O'Donnell
What would they say about Omagh today,
What would they think of a man
Holding up a woman, outside the Northern Bank.
Grand design, Community House.
South West College, pristine clean.
New walkway along the Strule.
An Arts Theatre, inaccessible
To those on income support
The pension or the dole.
Would they recognise the County Hospital
Vital on that August day.
Trace the tears still flowing
From Market Street to there.
Thirty one mirrors, Broken Things, fixed with glass
