Wow, David, how many libels can you fit into one short message? I'm no fan of de Valera, but your account of the origin of the Taoiseach's title is disingenuous at best (it has a very long history in Ireland), and Sinn Fein is many things, but fascist it ain't (it briefly--
briefly!--played footsy with the Nazis under Russell, but that was an anti-British thing). I think you'll find the Blueshirts (associated with Fine Gael) who looked like this:

fit the bill more closely.
But political poems...
Oh, there are tons that I love.
P. B. Shelley--"Prometheus Unbound"
W. H. Auden--"Spain"
Louis Aragon--"Red Front"
Alexander Blok--"The Twelve"
Nazim Hikmet--"Epic of Sheikh Bedridden"
Louis MacNeice--"Autumn Journal"
Lord Byron--"Don Juan"
George Oppen--"Blood from the Stone"
Ray Pospisil--"Let Women Run the World"
And that off the top of my head.
Editing in--and the present-day Fine Gael, one should emphasize, isn't fascist, either.
