MARY RAFTERY HAS GONE FROM THIS EARTH
HER LEGACY STRONG TO WHICH SHE GAVE BIRTH
A LEGACY TO PROTECT FUTURE GENERATIONS
FROM CHILD ABUSE WITHIN RELIGIOUS DENOMINATIONS
A DAVID AND GOLIATH SCENARIO SHE SAW AND
DECLARED ON THE POWERFUL, AN ALL OUT WAR.
ABUSE OF THE CHILDREN, THE VULNERABLE AND POOR
BY THOSE WHO HAD HIDDEN BEHIND ‘GOD’S’ DOOR
MARY SHE KNOCKED AND SHE POUNDED SO HARD
EVER DETERMINED TO REVEAL ALL THE SCARS
THE SCARS THAT WERE BRANDED ON MINDS OF POOR PEOPLE
AND HIDDEN FOREVER IN BUILDINGS WITH STEEPLES
SOCIETY SILENT AND CONSPICUOUS BY LACK
OF SUPPORTING THE MIDERING OF MEN DRESSED IN BLACK
OR WOMEN WITH VEILS WHO DESTROYED INNOCENT LIVES
SOLDIERS OF CHRIST AND JESUS’S WIVES!
GOOD MARY RAFTERY, COMPASSIONATE AND KIND
THE VOICE OF THE VOICELESS, THE DEAF AND THE BLIND
SENSITIVE TO OTHERS, THEIR ANGUISH AND PAIN
BELIEVING THE STORIES OF THOSE, BRANDED ‘INSANE’
IRELAND HAS LOST A GREAT SCHOLAR AND SAINT
BRAVE AND STOIC, WITHOUT ANY RESTRAINT
CELEBRATIONS IN HEAVEN I,M CERTAIN TONIGHT
ONE OF THEIR OWN HAS RETURNED FROM HER PLIGHT
WE WONT FORGET YOU MARY OUR FRIEND
YOUR NAME WILL BE DEEP IN OUR HEARTS TILL THE END…….
