Armed with their look
They’ve a gut full of fears,
Their anger disguised
Behind tattooed tears.
They hook youth to bring
New music to the masses,
To stir unrest amongst
those middle-classes.
Secretly it’s about
Statement and look,
under the guise of a
new-age punk book.
Courting social media
With Insta and Mix,
To highlight the movement
With moody selfies and glitz.
Power hungry fools
with political agendas
Infiltrate the movement
To fulfil their vendettas.
Soon they are castigated,
Pilloried as militant fools.
Credibility lost, they are
just punks without tools.
Another new direction for this have a go woman of words. Let me know if I grabbed the emotion and threw it out there. Maybe it is a step too far? Let me know I value your opinion.
