Thirty Years 1981-2011: The Stardust Fire

Thirty years have now gone
Since that fateful night in Artane
But justice still remains to be done
For the victims and the families in pain
I remember those tears shed by the Boss
All the kindly words he said
But he soon forgot the families' loss
As his words proved empty instead
And there's a man walking free as you please
Who we all know is the most to blame
The tools of the State still hear his pleas
But in God's own eyes he walks in shame
