Analysis of Harry Brown, devastotor.
Lives on a meagre
Former operative, British Marines.
Close by favourite pub
For chess contests
With best friend Leonard.
The friend has a tough walk home
Through a square hosting
Shitty, vile low-life end
Of a chain of drug thugs.
All the way up
To big Money.
Sadly Leonard loses
His life to the Gang
In a walk home skirmish.
Harry, distraught from
Attacks the Police Detachment
With repeated demands.
Not a very encouraging
Usual routines fruitless.
Enters now, the former Marine
Streets, drug lairs, high end
By ONE OLD MAN.
Who wants his
His friend avenged.
