Graffiti's Lament


This piece is actually from my old blog but I felt it relevant for Meeting the Bar: Graffiti Poetry over at dVerse. Long live Banksy!

    It's tragic how easily the dreams we have can be lost...

    it is true.. some things are not disposable..somethings are raw...
    these are the things that make us real...

    Life in the streets often is dependent on the dreams, aspirations and false promises of others - those on the bottom rung rarely share the riches...

    This is a real humdinger - two humdingers, in fact: text and image. Perfect together.
