Brick Lane Street Art Cavalry
By: Suke Driver
About The Poem
During the pandemic, I was visiting Brick Lane on a weekly basis to see how the street artists and commentators were responding to it, with the intention of recording it for prosperity with photography. It was the gift that kept on giving, providing me hours of joy and food for thought.
My poem is a celebration of that and them.

The Poem
Pictorial authority
of infinite variety
speak for the majority
with pertinent sonority
Decorative dexterity
upon the walls of liberty
speak for the minority
in wilful terminology
Prodigious typography
and poster art sovereignty
adorn the transient galleries
brought by the street art cavalry
Adroit creative mockery
and pertinent profanity
provide a running commentary
on political impropriety
Innovative insurgency
speaks of the disparity
of blatant inequality
and societal hypocrisy
These valiant emissaries
provide a certain sanctuary
in times of bleak uncertainty
with unrelenting urgency
Legends of graffiti
execute discreetly
resolutely and uniquely
to adorn Brick Lane completely
