This is a verse from his inaugural-ish poem:
The black man, forgotten, in poverty dying,
The poor man, the sick man, with young children crying,
The soldier abroad and the mother who waits,
The young without work or behind prison gates,
The veterans, wounded, all welcome the crowd
That fights for the Domhnall, the best of MacLeod!
By atomic bomb the interviewer refers to the toxic stupidity of this poet lining up like a fanboy for fascism. By common people he means the willfully uneducated. And by understanding he means equally comfortable with painting the world they have dreamed up on the inside of their eyelids.
