The Imaginary New Wave Bands Poem by DM W

In dreams, I looked upon an empty stage
Where all the young bands had one played.
Here they strutted and fretted those
Precious hours in the midday sun of their lives
With such passion and burning desire.
Such ferocity was never to be heard again
Although they were full of sound and fury
They certainly signified something.,
I remember; The Golden Dawn'
Performing their wild rendition
Of a long- forgotten teenage angst song
Entitled: 'Summer Time Burn Out'.
I recall Mr X and the Misanthropes
And their heavy, ground breaking tunes;
Which were a kind of hard metal blues explosion
I remember the Exterminating Angels
With their homages to unrequited love:
' Blonde Venus and ' Ice Maiden'
And of course the caustic, ' Cover Girl Blues'
And there was Droid Boy Vox,
Former lead singer of the Sanhedrins,
Who crooned and wailed like a banshee.
'Love is like Cocaine' was my favourite song
Of his. Those were the days. I'll never forget them.
