Writing On The Wall Poem by NikMorgan ...

Writing On The Wall

Rating: 5.0


Can you see the wonder
Of the writing on the wall
Is it the majesty of art?
Or a mindless vandals scrawl?

I can see the genius
The artist and the can
All you see is trouble
A threat you want to ban

I feel the passion
Anarchy unconfined
They risk limb and liberty
To open the closed mind

A wall is just a canvas
Waiting to be sprayed
Artistry in waiting
A masterpiece unmade

Can you see the beauty
Of an empty space set free
I see no harm
Won’t you let the tagger be

I have seen the tedium
Of a world that doesn’t care
Dull and cold, monotonous
Lacking feeling lacking flare

A dead space
Criminally made alive
Suffering for his art
So his vision may survive

Nik, the trouble is, they do not stop at walls. Tombstones, church walls are all fair game to these mindless wonders. I know what you are trying to say, art for arts sake. I would have their faces sprayed blue...if I had my way. At least you triggered a reaction from me...which is what good poetry is all about.10/10 Regards, Ian
