Agony Street

This is my street.

This is where I live.

This is where I’ll die:

In Agony Street.

This is where I call the shots;

This is where I make the rules;

This is where I knock the spots

Off those who don’t comply,

However hard they try.

Thanks to Abdul and Brian.

It is interesting to see how a few lines of verse and can give rise to different interpretations.

Some people who have seen this think it is a warning of a bleak dystopian, conformist future.

And me? I don't know, I just wrote it!

More power to your elbows.
