Linton Kwesi Johnson

last night through my coachella playlist I came across this guys lyrics. I'm not one who knows poetry that well but its quite moving.  here is a bit that cought me, brilliant!

Madness, madness
Madness tight on the heads of the rebels
The bitterness erup's like a heart blas'
Broke glass, ritual of blood an' a-burnin'
Served by a cruelin' fighting
5 nights of horror and of bleeding
Broke glass, cold blades as sharp as the eyes of hate
And the stabbin', it's
War amongs' the rebels
Madness, madness, war

rest of the poem who can read here:
