Chelly's Sightlines

Belfast's Chelly has released a number of fantastic works including Friends Reunited, She just wants, and Silence is deadly, over on planet myspace. But best of all is her powerful work Sightlines .It's a poem which speaks for victims of war, which reveals an allusion, not so much to the bible, and a line in which you would think you would have to be crazy to use, as to the vicious darkness that gripped old Belfast. If you were there this poem will bring you back to that time of cold despair and anger. It captures that much. If you were not there, have a look see and learn, from the words and the tone. If this isn't the best poem you'll encounter all year I'll walk off into the night and never return.
