CRANIUM HUMANIUM

In New Guinea (up to 1930),cannibals ate their enemies
Some Native American tribes were (according to legend and lore)-cannibals
There is something potent about devouring one's enemies
to absorb their magick/and by so doing-to conquer their power
Irish writers have added to English literature (longer than bards-
Swift,Sheridan,Shaw,Yeats,Joyce-endless ,ever,on
You do not need to manipulate a potato famine
to have more Irish in England than in Ireland
Just ask them for a poem-or a song-Becket,Lennon,McCartney
will strum until Godot finally comes
and you can say you drank the Guinness on Galway Bay
without ever having to feel the pain
of being a cultural emigre..
