Vincent Van Gogh Poem by Mario, Lucien, Rene Odekerken

Today the world admires you,
and your work
auction after auction
the prices for your paintings
rise higher and higher
While You in your living years
had to scrape to make a living
and suffered day after day
being tormented by your own self destructive mind
Yes, you where a talent in every sense
and yet could you not keep it all together
for your mastermind didn't allow you to do so

What would your life
have been so much different
if you only could have had peace of mind
But there again
would you have been the master painter
the artist which we admire so much today
really we can't tell, but the beauty of your portraits
proof what and who you really were
a man with a genius confused mind
who took art
to a level seldom seen
