A Modest Proposal

I know you are talking ironically, but only by talking in that way I feel you are crazy. If you want a real change do not make fun, give solutions, make proposals, instead of criticizing. I want a change for Ireland too, but we need leaders, not satirical writers. You could write criticizing landlords of England, but you have to make solutions for that problem. Only in that way we can motivate all the people in Ireland and really make a change. I am pretty sure that if we incentivate our people they will respond. Let’s make a better proposal, a proposal for liberty, a proposal for equal right, a proposal for hapiness, a proposal for patriotism. Let’s teach our people this values and take them to be better lives and for me the only way is a war. We will never be able to get free from the chains that holds us in the same place if we do not defeat England. I know this seems as atrocious as your “modest proposal” but it is the only way I see to freedom. They have taken so much from us, our food, our money, our pride, our honor, but they will never take the power of will, the will of having a better life for us. Join me to see our country in glory! Instead of eating our babies, let’s train them for war. Instead of calling woman a breeder, call them heroines because they are giving us the future leaders and fighters.

When you talked about eating catholics, that made me really angry. I do not know what religion you are, but we, the catholics of Ireland should join against the anglicans of England. Let us join, no matter religion, for a common cause: for our liberty. If you think that maybe war is not the solution, let us then protest in peace. Let us walk through all England protesting and marching until they finally accept our liberty. Start to spread the word through all Ireland that we will pay not one cent more to the English. Let us face them and tell them we do not want to be dominated by them, that we are free men and that we will never accept what they are doing. Let us tell the king of England and all of the landlords that dominate us that we will no longer subjugate to them, that from now on we will live our lives as we please and we will eat what we want. Tell them Ireland says they do not want to be subjugated and dominated any more, that we will make them pay for all the atrocities they have done to us. I know the English fear that we make a rebellion, deep in my heart and if they do not fear us lets make them fear. Let’s make them fear our spears, let’s make them fear our swords, let’s make them fear our arrows, let’s make them fear our fury, let’s make them fear our courage, but most important let’s make them fear that we are free men!

I know that for you the worst thing those English bastards are doing to us is making our people poor, but it is not the worst thing of all. The worst thing above everything is that they are taking our freedom, a freedom that has been given to us from the time we are born. They are taking away what we believe in and what we deserve. This is what we should fight for, not as your “modest proposal”. You will see that when we finally get our desired freedom from those English landlords you and I and every person who lives in Ireland will drink the best wine and eat the best quality of pork. Everyone will be so proud of getting their independence and living a wonderful life with all the pleasures it has.
