A powerful voice
in a youthful era
Making a choice
Describing the terror
Artistic expressions
on walls in the alley
Compared to garbage
& cattle calls in the valley
Loud & obnoxious
or does the truth
make you nauseous
Feel free to be vocal;
but you better be
cautious?
Too much to handle
as they paint with a candle
For every second is danger;
Waiting to dismantle
Talented students
in the fine arts
of evolution
Portraying the shame
& mental pollution
How can you say:
It's not an artistic display
How can you see?
When you live in the grey
It's a new time now
& walls don't have fears
Now they have voices
& it's burning your ears
Writing the phrases
you've wanted to speak
but now it's too late
Your free spirit's too weak
You want
to quiet the children
& 'leave things be'
yet we won't stay quiet
& we'll never agree
to the foolish thoughts & ideas
of your history
So, I say:
