This is a page from a new compilation of poetry I'm putting together. The image makes more sense with the poem, Phil

Phil, vagabond and rocker
Playboy of the Western World
Poet, holder of our dreams
M16 rock
Machine-gun blues
Drilling a bore-hole
Through walls of indifference
Through the Northern Taliban pall
Through our hearts and into the wall
Of poe-faced fakery

Lizzy - loud, live and dangerous
Twin-guitared, guttural
Over-driven purveyors of precision
Rat-tatted, staccato riffs
Razor edged and riven
Driven through our heads
Living in our hearts
A delicious distortion
Of all that was holy
