\"Remains
Remains of a barrow at Braemor, site of a car park for the new Chinese Port at Drogheda<\/figcaption><\/figure>
\nDisturb not the bones of the dead!
\nThey sleep now, here, for all time to lie…
\nIt’s all they ask of those who are left –
\nBasic respect! It’s the reason why
\nOnly wind should scatter the ashes…
\nShould they to gales become exposed…
\nFor the spirit still dwells among them
\nOf the dead and their realms are composed.
\nLet them sleep, those who died before us –
\nHere and other places, leave them be!
\nLet time, erosion, nature, take them
\nRelentless crash of the ebbing sea.<\/p>\n
