St Peters College, Co. Wexford

Some boys

My experience of being a man, it’s different to

other boys. While some boys like doing stuff

that would hurt someone else’s feelings, I

always avoid doing that, as well as i consider

people’s feelings. If some boys like to get into

fights easily, I prefer to stay away and not get involved.

I just believe that most boys can act out around others, 

Whereas I don’t like the idea of being like that.

 

Manly

The boys who play sport are the people I hate, 

convincing these lads is far too late. With their

view on this world things have to be manly, 

and anyone else has to be treated badly.

Now this is my experience so don’t take it 

to heart, i appreciate the boys who play their

kind part. I feel people need to mind their own

business, letting others keep to themselves and

no matter the time, that’s the whole purpose

of this drawn out rhyme.

 

My Homeboy

I used to think we could not play 

just because my homeboy was gay

I thought we couldn’t play with toys 

only because my friend likes boys

out in the yard, with our sliothars and hurls

he wasn’t included, because he didn’t like girls

but even though my homeboy is gay

I still love him (no homo by the way)

 

I am

I am the lightning of the moon,

the reflection of superiority.

An egregious representation of my love.

Pearls hang from my sagging ears.

Aged from the sounds of rage.

Furs and feathers of disloyalty to my maker.

I love man for I have never known one.

Not even myself.

 

Confidence

best experiences of my life going to the Aviva

stadium and hearing the fans ole ole ole. starting

off in drama going from being embarrassed of what

 people would have thought of me. to gaining confidence

every week I went. I don’t do it anymore but they were 

great experiences.

 

uninspired

I don’t like school I find it boring and every morning I 

yawn and wish I could be outside playing in my lawn

waking up early is fairly tiring and nothing in school is inspiring

I enjoy being outside where I can have fun and relax

where I can run and be under the sun

the warm air flowing through my hair without a care.

 

Memories

Wexford town to Wexford park good memories and bad

fleadh Ceoil Na Eireann in Wexford is no more all there is left

is the memories of the craic and the music with the lads.

 

Make your bed

the sky is blue, the grass is green

keep your room nice and clean

oranges are orange blood is red

make sure you make your bed

They say you’re a poet but you don’t know it.

 

Silent Opinions

I come from big backs and silent opinions

My body may be in this kip but my heart

Lays across the ocean over the mighty sea

A land far away from the copy and paste

Of yup bros and false idols where imperfection

Is praised pillaged.

 

Little Things Matter

I come from a place down south,

Where everything’s better.

Where green fields flourish,

And little things matter.

Where rivers flow thin

and waters clear.

Its always peaceful

Any time of year.

 

Not loud enough

I don’t think black people speak loudly enough and

I don’t think Muslims speak enough and is also 

don’t think gay people speak out loudly and i think

people that harass women should be sentenced

to most of life in prison so should predators.

 

Bunny

I’m from Screen,

Not very clean,

At least it’s better than Clongeen,

Everyone is so very mean,

It’s not very fun,

Afraid of being shot by a gun,

Johnny’s not funny,

He’s as cute as a bunny.

 

Worthy to befriend

A tale to be told, about the masculinity unfold

The life meant to be seen, has the impressionable means

Side of Femininity, met with the diva Hatsune Miku

Though with the masked facade, it will slowly eat you.

 

Burned emotions, willing to be buried

Losing my whole identity, should you be worried?

As all things must come to an end, it’s a departing send

With the probable destiny, should I be worthy to befriend?

 

My Masculinity

Is not how much weight I lift

Or how many girls I shift

It’s not what I fear or do not,

Not how many trophies I’ve got.

It’s not how I look,

If I’m handsome or tall,

It’s about me being me.

The most masculine thing of all.

 

“The lads”

Past the sands of shining beaches,

in a school is where you’ll meet us.

A place where mocking and aggression is normal,

and the uniform is merely formal.

Things like femininity and acceptance gets you slagged,

most would consider these as worrying red flags.

But this type of behaviour is the only thing, that would

get you accepted as one of ‘the lads’.

 

Sixteen

I’m from clongeen

where everybody is so mean

the colours are yellow and green

the house has never been cleen

so it looks like a murder scene

Everybody hates screen

A city i have never been

It’s hard to be six-teen and live in clongeen.

 

Backflip

I come from curracloe

where people are kind of slow

Although am I slow? no

I play for shells

black and yellow

to greet I say hello

do I like clongeen? hell no

its a kip

I never slip

I only flip

Backflip.

 

Rap

fresh skin fades every 3 weeks staying

away from the library freaks pucking around 

in the local pitch finding sliotars from the ditch

martins disco back in first year no drink allowed not even beer

 

Bright side

St peters college is full of knowledge,

and as we watch the rising of the sun

we know we will always have some fun.

but then again there will always be 

but we always try to look on the bright side.

 

Untitled

Roses are red violets are blue if you don’t like

 John Deere you are an absolute fool

if it has tits or tyres it will break your heart or spend all your money
