Oh Hear oh hear… That’s it just listen… this is not
About being shinny or wanting to glisten
Oh hear oh hear just do that thing, that most difficult thing
That’s it, shush… Listen
There ya go.. the pressure is off, no need for reply nor opinion
You have been freed from that prison, so, sit yee back and listen, for
The Saint of our patronage known to us as Patrick, gave to us the following wisdom... Along with some words of me own;-} Happy St Patrick’s day and Easter Spiritual well being upon you!+!

THE CONFESSION
(Citizen of the Roman Empire 400 A.D.)
"I am Patrick, a sinner, the most unlearned of men, the lowliest of all the faithful, utterly worthless in the eyes of many…"(St Patrick)
Patrick’s Poem For A Saint
Patrick Benignus Bennett copyrighted
Patrick I am; stumbled I
On this green green land
Lush shamrock carpet
Damp drizzle downpour
Souls to be found, too guide
Here in this glistening green land
By day roam, by night rest
Toss turn damp earth
By strange sounds awake I’m kept
An eerie noise, kind of whisper
Tiredness drapes; coldness
Creeps along spine, shiver
Feel of slime
Staff wield
Hear creatures squeal
Scream their appeal
Their death I feel
Kneel now to pray
As creatures learn to obey, and
Flee this land, this
Glistening green green land
This my Ireland
Patrick I am
Some say, saint; a man
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CHRIST IN OTHERS
Christ the lowly and meek,
Christ the all-powerful,
Be in the heart of each to whom I speak,
In the mouth of each who speaks to me,
In all who draw near me,
Or see me, or hear me! (St Patrick)

THE PROTECTING GOD
Lord be with us this day,
Within us to purify us;
Above us to draw us up;
Beneath us to sustain us;
Before us to lead us;
Behind us to restrain us;
Around us to protect us. (St Patrick)
Snake-Man Cometh
Patrick Benignus Bennett copyrighted
A gathering there be, annual jubilee
Multi-coloured multi-cultural multi-nation celebration
The man with standard; Snake-Man cometh
Mythical too cleanse land, cast-out
Silent slippery creatures.
Roman extract too Irish Detainee
Sold to herds tend; on Slemish mountain
Years in six herded by, till that time, young Patrick
Fled captives and this land
Among riotous raiders manoeuvred he through Gaul, Italy and
Islands of Tyrrhenian sea, before once more encountering Boulogne, that
Home once he knew; now laid before in ruins
Continuous Patrick did trek till among relatives of Britain found welcome rest
Winds fair and fierce blew through seasons, as leaves
Transformed; book leafs of knowledge transformed youthful
Mind to manhood reasons
’Twas then the Word did come
A vision; the letter bearer, Victor
Delivered message; made it known, from distant wood
Many Voclut voices of far away Western sea called as one, for
Patrick to return; "We ask you, boy, come and walk once more among us."
The captive boy whom had fled, once more returned
In freedom, as spiritual guide to some who once were captors
Anew, land roam too discover, people ignorance dwelt
Bounty to convert, within, blessed spiritual home
’I be Christ’s man in this land’
Together roam this harsh green land
Where brutes of pagan hold throne; too
Mythical cause creature across sea flee
Cleanse peoples, teach be free
Roam ravaged lands, cry out
I am channel for Christ Jesus, come be spiritually free, with Him
Fear not dark forces within or about, His light guides free
Roam ravaged lands, cry out
O yee vile creatures flee this land
Be gone your symbolic fear
Be gone your poisonous infectious ways
Be gone your forked-tongue
Cast yee out of God’s land, that
His peoples will grow strong, without
Erosion from your vile song
Oh yee vile creatures flee His land.
Cities towns villages outposts World-streets
This day yearly through festivities greet all
Combined colourful cultural efforts join with Snake-Man
Celebrate part message heard
Snake be gone, alas, infection held long
Corruption’s fangs sunk spiritual; representatives
Projected, pontificated diluted deluded belief of ’titled’ ’truth’ talkers
Cold blooded, minds, slip-slide snake vain corridors
O yee vile legged-creatures you must flee this land
Be gone your symbolic fear
Be gone your poisonous infectious ways
Be gone your forked-tongue
Cast yee out of God’s land, that
His peoples may grow strong, without
Erosion of your vile song
O yee vile creatures flee this land
This glistening green green land. Flee.
Jubilee, jubilation Patrick cometh
Celebration celebrate too foreign shores voices roar
Rejoice rejoice worldly peoples yearly gather
Ah’sure carousal Snake-Man cometh
Cities towns villages outposts World-streets
This day yearly through festivities greet each; Other
Rock’on
Rock’on
St Patrick rock on….
There is then, school of thought that sayeth
Our Patrick be not Saint; that Blessed Patrick he be
And that, thought school would have focus on, the title
Instead the message; think’on think’on
The Snake-Man, Blessed, Saint, Patrick, think on and on....
THE PROTECTION OF CHRIST
Christ as a light, Illumine and guide me!
Christ as a shield overshadow and cover me!
Christ be under me! Christ be over me!
Christ be beside me, on left hand and right!
Christ be before me, behind me, about me!
Christ, this day, be within and without me! (St Patrick)
