Mister Punkh (1977-2019)

by Simon Parker

Hundreds of kids there were,

looking back.

United! Ignited!

On the attack!

 Railing at Tories, 

their elders, the dole,

hungry for purpose,

for answers, a goal.

We chose music: 

three chords, never more,

The usual topics: 

love, hate and war.

 Dance floor, pogo,

lyrics that curse,

Thrash it! Thrash it! 

Verse-chorus-verse.

 Mister Punkh is a punk parable, an epic poem of rebellion – then and now.
