It is difficult to see what benefits the Haass talks could possibly hold for working class Loyalist’s or the genuinely innocent victims of the conflict, all of whom will be totally unrepresented at these meaningless talks.<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Extermination of Innocence<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Was there ever a Cause worth the life of a child?
\nCould conscience ever justify such a price?
\nIs the innocence laid bare, by a child’s helpless stare,
\nNot more precious than all selfish rights?<\/p>\n

If we had to shovel the remains of that child
\nWhose young body was scattered by hate.
\nWould we still be so sure that our motives were pure?
\nOr would we just slink away in the night?<\/p>\n

What excuse have we left for a cause that is deaf?
\nTo the anguish of innocence slaughtered
\nWhat excuse to be blind, to that sad endless line
\nOf young lives that our causes have ended.<\/p>\n

So to hell with your cause, false religion and laws
\nTo hell with false patriots and martyr’s
\nWe have all broke God’s Laws, for the sake of a cause
\nThat has nothing but death left to barter.<\/p>\n
