Short Poem.

This article will be the first of many in a series I will produce. It is very suitable for the Irish American market or indeed the Irish market. I am taking a look back at the news from years gone by in Ireland but there is also some international news. There is a lot of miltary history and Irish politics for example the situation in Northern Ireland during the troubled times in 1970. Other years that I look at are 1930, 1945, 1970, 1980, 1990, 2000. I pick two news items from each year and my readers can take a trip down memory lane and remember what they were doing during world war II or when Ireland got to the the quarter final of the soccer world cup in 1990. There is the odd swipe at religion and politicians who might take themselves too seriously. All done in good humour.

This missionary shifted to a dimensions where religion and government are one.

This missionary is shifted to a dimension controlled by an oppressive religious government.
