“Graffiti is the voice of the unheard, the vision of the unseen.”
―Shabd Quotes in Hindi

                                                  spray-can    
expression
                                             where compassion
     is on ration.
                                        nation liberation
          persuasion
                                   by invasion
               of walls and floors and ceilings
                              to paint aggressive feelings
                    about oppressive dealings
                         for temporary healings.

          corporate anonymous art
for garrison dwellers who phartz
               ‘neath the rule of society
          whose downfall its mock piety.

          the nighttime university
of those who face adversity
               the inking of the soul at night
where daytime breeds a deadly plight.

                                             broom brushes
swirling colours
                                        where justice
     bleeds and hollers
                                   and finger pens
          with acumens
                              scratch loud, unholy letters
               where governments
                         plant fetters.

                                             a daylight exhibition
for poor men with ambition
                                        broad-painted by
     the wakeup brush
                                   of law-enforcing men
          who crush
                              the voices
               of the night
                         with military might.
