a request

I'm trying to find the poem 'the woodkern'. I've no idea who wrote it. It was recited to me by a visitor to Newry library. It's a diatribe agains the Irish and i wanted to put a link to it. Can anyone help and comment on the poem?

It begins - Just a band of prowling mates/who respect no more a country's birth

I'd also appreciate any comments on the poem ceasefire

If there are any poems you'd consider adding to the commentary, please do.

Thanks
