The poetry of an Irish hero:
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 leadened 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!'

Marcella, the name of his sister, was the psuedonymn that Bobby Sands adopted for his writings while incarcerated in the H-Blocks of Long Kesh. Bobby died on the 5th of May 1981 after 66 days on hunger strike to gain recognition for himself & his comrades as political prisoners. His & the deaths of 9 more Republican P.O.W's sent shockwaves throughout the world & would change the face of Irish & indeed british politics forever. Ten years after his death, his friend & comrade, Brendan "Bik" McFarlane, wrote this song.
1
It doesnt seem quite so long ago, the last time that I saw you
But ain't it funny how the memories grow, seems they always fold around you
They tried to break you in a living hell, but they could'nt find a way
So they killed you in an H-Block cell & hoped that all would turn away
They thought your spirit could'nt rise again, but you dared to prove them wrong
And in death you tore away the chains, let the world hear freedom's song
CHORUS
But the heartache & pain linger on,
They're still here though it's so long since you've gone
But we're stronger now, you showed us how
Freedom's fight can be won...
2
I wish there was an easy road to choose, to bring this heartache to an end
But easy roads are always sure to lose, I've seen it time & time again
If you could stand by me like yesterday, I'd find the strength to carry on
So let your spirit shine along the way & our day will surely come
CHORUS
...If we all stand as one

Here's an ABC News Special Report on the death of Irish Republican Army (IRA) member Bobby Sands at age 27 after a 66-day hunger strike, reported by Ted Koppel in Washington. He mentioned that Mr. Sands, who was serving a 14-year prison sentence for weapons possession and demanding special status as a political prisoner, died at Belfast's Maze Prison at 1:17am Tuesday (the 5th) Belfast time, which would have been 8:17pm Eastern time (and, therefore, 7:17pm Chicago time). Mr. Koppel ends the report by promising more details on this evening's edition of Nightline.
Opening and closing voiceover by ??
This bulletin interrupted the ABC special Sixty Years of Seduction, hosted by James Garner (sporting a full beard) and Angie Dickinson.
This aired on local Chicago TV on Monday, May 4th 1981 at about 8:10pm.

Robert Gerard "Bobby" Sands (Irish: Roibeárd Gearóid Ó Seachnasaigh; 9 March 1954 – 5 May 1981) was an Irish volunteer of the Provisional Irish Republican Army and member of the British Parliament who died on hunger strike while imprisoned in HM Prison Maze.
He was the leader of the 1981 hunger strike in which Irish republican prisoners protested against the removal of Special Category Status. During his strike he was elected as a member of the British Parliament as an Anti H-Block/Armagh Political Prisoner candidate. His death resulted in a new surge of IRA recruitment and activity. International media coverage brought attention to the hunger strikers, and the republican movement in general, attracting both praise and criticism.
Sands was born into a Catholic family in Abbots Cross, but also lived in a house in Doonbeg Drive, Newtownabbey, County Antrim, Northern Ireland, and lived there until 1960 whereupon the family were forced to move to Rathcoole, Newtownabbey. His first sister, Marcella, was born in April 1955 and second sister, Bernadette, in November 1958. His parents, John and Rosaleen, had another son, John, in 1962. On leaving school, he became an apprentice coach-builder until he was forced out at gunpoint by loyalists.[clarification needed]

Plot: 'H3' is a universal story of endurance and courage set inside Europe's most secure prison, the Maze prison in Northern Ireland. Here, in H3 - the bleakest of all the H-blocks - a group of young republican prisoners hold out for what they believe in, refusing to be labeled as criminals or co-operate with prison authorities. However, British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher is determined that these Republican prisoners will be treated like all the other common criminals in British jails, ending a special regime which allowed the inmates political status to organise life inside the jail along POW lines. The republican prisoners immediately start a 'no-wash' protest, refusing to wear prison-issue clothes or perform work duties, a protest which results in their being locked in their cells for hours on end without exercise, recreation, reading materials and with only blankets to wear for heat. After four years on this protest, morale is at an all time low and everyone knows that something desperate is called for to break the deadlock... Although 'H3' portrays bleak prison conditions and tough moments, it also shows the camaraderie and craic, (Gaelic for fun) as inmates learn Jailic, (the particular brand of Gaelic learned inside the prison), sing songs, spin yarns and keep an eye out for each other. As each prisoner is forced to confront his own demons, the film shows us the triumph of humanity, friendship, loyalty and courage over the prison administration's crude efforts to break their will. The hunger strikes irrevocably altered the political landscape in the north of Ireland, preparing the ground for the current peace process which was born of the tremendous sacrifices made by the protagonists of this extraordinary yet true film.

The film focuses on the mothers of two of the strikers, and their struggle to save the lives of their sons.

The poetry of an Irish hero:
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 leadened 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!'

Marcella, the name of his sister, was the psuedonymn that Bobby Sands adopted for his writings while incarcerated in the H-Blocks of Long Kesh. Bobby died on the 5th of May 1981 after 66 days on hunger strike to gain recognition for himself & his comrades as political prisoners. His & the deaths of 9 more Republican P.O.W's sent shockwaves throughout the world & would change the face of Irish & indeed british politics forever. Ten years after his death, his friend & comrade, Brendan "Bik" McFarlane, wrote this song.
1
It doesnt seem quite so long ago, the last time that I saw you
But ain't it funny how the memories grow, seems they always fold around you
They tried to break you in a living hell, but they could'nt find a way
So they killed you in an H-Block cell & hoped that all would turn away
They thought your spirit could'nt rise again, but you dared to prove them wrong
And in death you tore away the chains, let the world hear freedom's song
CHORUS
But the heartache & pain linger on,
They're still here though it's so long since you've gone
But we're stronger now, you showed us how
Freedom's fight can be won...
2
I wish there was an easy road to choose, to bring this heartache to an end
But easy roads are always sure to lose, I've seen it time & time again
If you could stand by me like yesterday, I'd find the strength to carry on
So let your spirit shine along the way & our day will surely come
CHORUS
...If we all stand as one

Here's an ABC News Special Report on the death of Irish Republican Army (IRA) member Bobby Sands at age 27 after a 66-day hunger strike, reported by Ted Koppel in Washington. He mentioned that Mr. Sands, who was serving a 14-year prison sentence for weapons possession and demanding special status as a political prisoner, died at Belfast's Maze Prison at 1:17am Tuesday (the 5th) Belfast time, which would have been 8:17pm Eastern time (and, therefore, 7:17pm Chicago time). Mr. Koppel ends the report by promising more details on this evening's edition of Nightline.
