Rebel spells 

Jars and vials containing soil from rebel graves

Each labelled and dated 

Collins ninety eight 

Two thousand four Roger Casement

Known primarily for attempting to place 

Rifles into RA hands, caught in the bay

As his submarine upcame

Laden with guns, bombs 

Tools of pain, war’s trade

Also instrumental in exposing horrors in the Belgian Congo 

Impressing on apathetic public sheer wrongness of that stewardship 

He went there by steamship.
