WATCH: This Poem About Ireland Is The Best Thing You’ll Hear Today

This is really something.

It's almost 12 minutes long, but as soon as you start listening, you're absolutely hooked.

Woah. That is really bloody powerful.

Such an incredible mix of old, new, topical, archaic and buzzwords that we feel like we've been hearing forever.

Really, really worth the watch.
