Hang Your Friends

 

 Some people hear this poem and think it's angry, but it's not. It's actually ultimately all to do with hope and love. Because death is the ultimate love. "Luke" (if that is his real name) is telling us that through death we can find an ultimate peace and understanding and meaning and truth. You know when you sleep and you wish you didn't have to wake up because if you wake up you know you'll have to go and walk around in a world full of drones with high heels and make-up? Well death is like not having to wake up and do that because you're dead and you don't have to.

So what the poem's about is offering people you love (real love, not sex in the KFC car park with Ben Decker and telling your mates really loud in the lunch hall, like virtually shouting so everyone can hear and knows what a slut you are yeah like they didn't anyway) a chance to have ultimate happiness.
