  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:          
    Continue to scribble
