"BOBBY SANDS was twenty seven years old when he died on the sixty sixth day of hunger-strike in the H-Block prison hospital, Long Kesh, on the 5th May 1981. The young IRA Volunteer who had spent almost the last nine years of his short life in prison as a result of his Irish republican activities was, by the time of his death, world-famous having been elected to the british parliament and having withstood pressures, political and moral (including an emissary from Pope John Paul II) , for him to abandon his fast which was aimed at countering a criminalisation policy by the british government. His name became a household word in Ireland, and his sacrifice (as did that of those who followed him) overturned british propaganda on Ireland and had a real effect in advancing the cause of Irish freedom."

"The Rhythm Of Time"
There's an inner thing in every man,
Do you know this thing my friend?
It has withstood the blows of a million years,
And will do so to the end.
It was born when time did not exist,
And it grew up out of life,
It cut down evil's strangling vines,
Like a slashing searing knife.
It lit fires when fires were not,
And burnt the mind of man,
Tempering leandened hearts to steel,
From the time that time began.
It wept by the waters of Babylon,
And when all men were a loss,
It screeched in writhing agony,
And it hung bleeding from the Cross.
It died in Rome by lion and sword,
And in defiant cruel array,
When the deathly word was 'Spartacus'
Along with Appian Way.
It marched with Wat the Tyler's poor,
And frightened lord and king,
And it was emblazoned in their deathly stare,
As e'er a living thing.
It smiled in holy innocence,
Before conquistadors of old,
So meek and tame and unaware,
Of the deathly power of gold.
It burst forth through pitiful Paris streets,
And stormed the old Bastille,
And marched upon the serpent's head,
And crushed it 'neath its heel.
It died in blood on Buffalo Plains,
And starved by moons of rain,
Its heart was buried in Wounded Knee,
But it will come to rise again.
It screamed aloud by Kerry lakes,
As it was knelt upon the ground,
And it died in great defiance,
As they coldly shot it down.
It is found in every light of hope,
It knows no bounds nor space
It has risen in red and black and white,
It is there in every race.
It lies in the hearts of heroes dead,
It screams in tyrants' eyes,
It has reached the peak of mountains high,
It comes searing 'cross the skies.
It lights the dark of this prison cell,
It thunders forth its might,
It is 'the undauntable thought', my friend,
That thought that says 'I'm right! '
It dose not matter from whence you came. I,m a lowly coal miners daughter from the north of england. My father taught me the difference between right and wrong, not a sin to be born in the dirt, whilst looking at the stars. Bobby and his comrades are saints among men. They were so terribly wronged. God bless you Bobby Sands your words bring me comfort in my days of passing. You sit with the Gods
joolz perrin does you moron not dose ffs!
Nothing lowly about you Joolz.
God bless you my sister. The working class knows no borders xxx
@@raoulduke7553 Come down off your pedantic high horse bawbag! A simple spelling mistake doesn't make an ounce of difference to a statement of personal belief in a person and a cause.
Your lack of knowledge of punctuation however....................
We are all brothers and sisters my friend. Some realise it and others fight it. But in the end we love. My father was an irish republican freedom fighter but on his death bed he only had love for all humanity. That day was profound and changed my views on everything. We are all just evoled apes and should treat each other accordingly
I am an ordinary working class British guy part Irish on my maternal grandmothers side. You will never beat people who are as dedicated as those men with bully boy tactics. The treatment they endured was inhuman and no matter what anybody thinks,you have to respect them for the price they paid,for what they believed in. Nobody should have to go through that,no matter who they are. R.I.P.
god bless you sir ..for at lest understanding our war /troubles
@@garymartin9921 You are welcome my friend. I have read many many books on the subject, as well as spending more time than I can remember, staying with friends in Belfast. I read The Blanket Men, by Richard O` Rawe and anyone who was not moved after reading it, has no Heart. Another good one was called Lethal Allies, by Anne Cadwallader, about Collusion. The levels that the people who are supposed to be upholding the law, will sink to, in order to achieve their own aims, is quite frankly beyond contempt. But Thank you sir for your kind words. It`s appreciated.
God bless you 💚 the government divide and conquer
@@marty8187 👍.
Very fine and true words for you, it is a great pity that gangster Margret Thatcher and her vicious government and army did not have men like you in their ranks to question their ways of thinking and to look at their own souls about the brutal wrongs that committed on people who better and truer then they were
I mind the Day Bobby sands passed away. We were not allowed home from school. My mother Rip came and lifted me. My father's took me to the Rosary everynight. People came to gather just below my house. In a village in South Derry A fire was lit in the barrel fed with wood to keep it lit and wee prayed for the Ten brave men. May God Rest all them men who gave there lives for Irish freedom. Bobby sands once quoted. VICTORY TO THE IRISH REPUBLICAN ARMY UNBOWED AN UNBROKEN ONWARDS TO A IRISH REPUBLIC AND THE LIBERATION OF UR PEOPLE ✊🏼
Erin, go bragh, Chara!
I was 17 when Bobby sands died I'll never forget the marches in Dublin . I have a son named after him and his comrade joe McDonnell .RIP you brave fenian men
@Anne Woodward I think he'd be very pleased with the progress sf has made and I think he'd have supported the peace progress
I remember that morning very clearly ,in West Belfast ,when the bin lids started banging as news broke of him passing !!! What was to follow was terrifying!!! Many more lives taken by British forces who gleefully fired so many plastic bullets , they ran out of them in a few hours.
@@TheNinyo77 nationalist ireland certainly rallied behind the men and women armagh gaol ..I love the fact that ex blanket have written their own books
I was 5 and I remember the black flags on the lampposts. The country in mourning. My son is called after Séamus Kearney and Bobby Sands. Fair play to you John. ☘️🇮🇪
@@caramadra5 thanks for reply. never forget them all
Incredible, thought provoking. I'm very familiar with Sand's poetry, this is too tragic for words. A true man amongst men. May he RIP.
Thank you for the comfort
It seems like only yesterday when we watched the news for an update and perhaps some agreement that would save their lives I thank You Bobby and your nine Brave Comrades who stood and fought for Ireland 🇮🇪...Thank You All from the bottom of my heart ❤
God bless You Bobby and the rest of men who died in maze on hunger strike god love you all Tony
Erin go Bragh! Sinn Fein forever!
Heartbreaking, when we remember him, we also remember what we have lost, a poet, a revolutionary, and a hero of our nation. God bless you Bobby Sands 💚🇮🇪💚

فلتتعلم الجموع الضائعة والقطعان المغيبة أن تدرك وتعلم أن الحق يؤخذ بالثورة والرفض لا بالاستكانة والخنوع

Haunting ... 10 Brave men.
Bobby sand might physically have gone but his spirit will lives on in all those that fight oppression.
In the history of man there has been a few extraordinary men and women that have taught the rest never surrender to dictatorship.
One Ireland under Irish flag.

Bobby Sands topssssssssss
What a man
If Bobby didn't read his own poem then who did?I am a u.s. citizen but have never have forgotten where my true roots lie in Ireland. I was 21 when Bobby died and I have never forgotten my H block brothers or a part my soul that parted from me on May 5,1981.i just need to hear Bobby's voice if possible I will always love you. Jeanne❣❣
My " H block brothers " Fuck off you wannabe Yank. Have you ever took the time to Visit Belfast? Have you ever took the time to visit Northern Ireland at all? All these fake Irishmen in the USA. They make me puke. Boston is a Fucking long way from The Falls Rd or South Armagh believe me.
Does anyone know what the mention of Kerry lakes is in reference to?
Bobby sands brave legend
bravest of the brave
How brave must someone be to give their life like this for a just cause. Sadly, it looks like their sacrifice was in vain. When you look now at the chancers that are in government in the Republic of Ireland and the unholy alliance that is in power in Northern Ireland, you would wonder if this small little country could ever be governed by decent, honourable politicians who have the good of their country and its citizens at heart. I'm a proud Irishman who was born in Northern Ireland, but I could never live under British laws. I left Northern Ireland when I was 17 and I would never live there again. My siblings do, but something inside me would never allow me to be dictated to by a foreign power. Most Northern Ireland nationalists just get on with their day to day lives, but I could never have done that. Gerry Farry.
Beautiful poem, but destroyed by the volume of the music which is supposed to be background music
Thought provoking , why have I never heard of this before . It was censored ?
This poem was written by Bobby Sands, but this is not him reading it. This is from the "Live from the Blocks" album recorded by IRA prisoners in the H-Blocks some years after the Hunger Strike.
who said bobby was reading it? There bobby sands words nobody else's that's all that matters and the ultimate sacrifice he gave to Eire for it's freedom . when you buy a book and read it Do you say I didn't write this book but I'm reading it dafty. Éire do na hÉireannaigh tál 🇮🇪⚓
Bobby sands hero
Im sure thats bik mcfarlane reading bobbys poem and i think it was recorded in the kesh in the late 80s
He had it.
Love from turkey ❤️️
Gotcha me Bobby
Its a tragedy that out brightest stars must die to gain freedom for our people. Bobby Sans,Padraig Pearce, Billy Reid, Ernesto Guevara . the list could go on all day.our star humans have their life for us
The best of humanity gave their life for us, and yet narcissist are still walking around running countries and looking for a feckin mirror to admire their .leather skin in
A true hero bravest of the brave RIP
💚
We are in stormont!!! Unfortunately. Anyone who goes to stormont to change it has been changed!!
Not now
We walk on the shoulders of giants
What is the difference between BOBBY SANDS AND BOBBY MOFFITT??? AROUND 30 YEARS.
DESCANSA EN PAZ HIJO DE LA VERDE ERIN QUE LA SAGRADA TIERRA DE LOS CELTAS ACOJA TU CUERPO Y QUE LOS HIJOS DE IRLANDA NO OLVIDEN NUNCA TU LUCHA Y TU SACRIFICIO Y EL DE TODOS TUS CAMARADAS VOLUNTARIOS QUE SACRIFICARON SUS VIDAS POR UNA IRLANDA LIBRE Y UNIDA !!GLORY AND HONOUR FOR ALLS IRISH VOLUNTEERS!!

shame the windpipes drown the vocal out so much
“Let Tyrant’s tremble at the courage of these young men “ Fidel Castro.

I don't understand what the difference is between the pira and IRA.are they not the same thing?
There was a split in the movement in the early 70s and the PIRA / Provisional Sinn Fein (which is the Sinn Fein of today) schism-ed off in one direction while the Official IRA and Sinn Fein ended up becoming the Workers Party, dropping the Sinn Fein brand entirely. The officials suffered another split mid way through the 70s and a faction left and became the INLA / IRSP.
The provisionals formed in 1971 due to inaction of old it's to defend nationalist community snd carry armed struggle to brits
@@kohhna this was also a political move as the Marxist inla tried to distance themselves from sectarian agenda.there are many men of no religion in inla who took on the starry plough a trade Union flag from the ICA who fought the 16uprising
Is this Bobby's actual voice?
No, though he did write it.
it is being read by Stephen Rea I think.
not him
Flute's too loud
Starved himself to death for the cause you can't say he didn't belive in what he was doin that takes grit
True grit ?
TAL
It's not read by Bobby Sands.
✌️🇮🇪
I'm sorry but this is not being read by Bobby Sands. It was written by him though.
fuck off
Andrew Dent Why so hostile? I only said what was true.
@@andrewdent4507 It literally isn't him though. Its nice that this has been uploaded and I'm sure its just a small mistake in the part of the person who runs the channel but its not Bobby.

This isn't Bobby.
thinking of Palestine when i hear this
Bobby Sands would be disgusted if he knew how SF would turn out.We are now told this man died for gay rights.Are you effing joking.
Interesting to watch how Sinn Fein will never discuss Richard O' Rawe's claims of how the hunger strike could have ended.
Argh would ye stop ffs ,quit with orawe bs , wild horses wouldn't have dragged these men off that strike ,after the previous lies told to cancel the 1st one .
