Union Jack flies over the streets of Galway for the Royal Visit<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

They walked the streets where the homeless sleep:
\nBut say nothing, all is well,
\nThat we had a homeless crisis
\nNo one looking could ever tell.<\/p>\n

A future king, feted as if our own,
\nForgotten our heroes past,
\nHow fickle the hearts of Irishmen
\nWhose loyalties never seem to last!<\/p>\n

\nMan and his wife who await their crown,
\nWhat did the ghost of Liam Mellews think,
\nAs he, on Galway, looked down? <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
