In The Vanguard: A Poem
From Whitechapel to you

In The Vanguard
by Cosmic Poet Simon Pole
Van of sorrow, van of tears,
Van of a spree killer called Shears.
He drove it around, drove it uptown,
And out to gullies and creeks.
Van of death, tube of decay,
Lousey sheath which sprouts nature’s day.
Long was the spore planted on our shore,
Plucked out from Whitechapel’s eye.
