Secret Sixties
Heavy bourgeois stone
Composed of music, Pop Art
Cult of youth, sexual reform
Love rhetoric
Hides darker truth of
Racist chants, stiff-armed salutes
Gas mimed through hissing teeth
Bananas hurled from terraces
At startled, spittle-slicked forwards
Boys raped in children’s homes
Voiceless class
Prey for the Great and Good
Gagged tight for decades
