Beyond All Measure*

*Dedicated to all who are trying to save the River Shannon.

Threads dangling,
God's river hanging
on the words of a committee --
flimsy plans, such a pity! 
If they'd only listen to the 
men of the river -- 
algal blooms to make one shiver
will spread with Nature's cry suppressed
as city men of means, well-dressed,
seize water from the country folk,
around their necks place Dublin's yoke,
and watch the Shannon bleed her treasure
