Thereafter

by Lily Neilson

No sound of pain, on the streets of Sackville
The deafening silence of their ignorance
Bustling by without a thought to the past,
Walking towards being free at last.

Written by Lily Neilson as part of Poetry as Commemoration workshops led by Mark Granier in North Wicklow Educate Together Secondary School, Bray in September 2023.
