The Ire of Mind and Nation

 

The Ire of Mind and Nation

Will I be silent like William Yeats,

at crucial moment in nations fate,

to lose all thought without contention,

fear the bars of powers convention.

For things I’ve gathered through learned years,

should break our bondage, remove the fears,

our courage could rise as Yeats did build,

but in his silence, so many were killed.

Oh, I cannot fail my people so,

I must stand with ire and make it grow,

for Stand we must with core of being,

at top of hill with eyes all seeing.

The tide will turn with analytics,

hearth break free and silence the critics,

stand our ground with determination,

defeat all foe and save the nation.

The Activist Poet

About this Poem: William Butler Yeats (13 June 1865 – 28 January 1939) was an Irish poet, dramatist, prose writer and considered one of the foremost figures of 20th-century literature…that maybe so, however I believe he was more pretentious, selfish and elitist.

In the earlier part of his life, Yeats was a member of the Irish Republican Brotherhood, but due to the escalating tension of the political scene, Yeats distanced himself from the core political activism in the midst of the Easter Rising in 1916, even holding back his poetry inspired by those events until 1920. In my mind, had he been a real nationalist revolutionary, he would have stood with fire in his words at precisely the time his words were needed…I find he was pretentious and uncaring about the people of Ireland and more concerned with his economic standing. He was a coward, remained silent and only shared his views when it was economically viable for his bourgeois lifestyle.

In the 1930s Yeats was fascinated with the authoritarian, anti-democratic, fascist nationalist movements of Europe, and he composed several marching songs for the Blueshirts, although they were never used. He was a fierce opponent of individualism and political liberalism and saw the fascist movements as a triumph of public order and the needs of the national collective over petty individualism.

He was an elitist who abhorred the idea of mob-rule, and saw democracy as a threat to good governance and public order. After the Blueshirt movement began to falter in Ireland, he distanced himself somewhat from his previous views, but maintained a preference for authoritarian and nationalist leadership. He was in essence a traitor to the Irish people.

There’s nothing wrong with Nationalism, however a fake nationalism that hides behind cowardice scores zero points with me. Especially where Ireland never really gained its full and true independence. Monetary and economic subservience and the loss of the north are proof of a failed independence.

As a poet, I could never turn my back and be silent in my nations most critical hour as Yeats was.
