Notes About The Poem

"Should graffiti be judged on the same level as modern art? Of course not: It's way more important than that" - Banksy

Colour - ::Published::

The joy I find in colour
This extraordinary thing
Tiny backstreets shout with vigour
Freeing prison walls to sing 

When the streetlight slowly flickers
On our lifeless habitat 
The creative human passion
Has to put a stop to that 

Sweeping through the streets of dullness
All the litter and the dust
Bringing hope back to the hopeless
Recall our heritage, we must 

We're all kings and queens in waiting
Not for privilege or wealth;
To return our fallen kingdom
Back to Eden level health 

I just love; we rise and conquer
Those who want to keep us down
Every sapling through it's concrete
Every happy smile from frown..

The human spirit moving
From a warm place deep within.
We're a people full of rainbows
From our paintbrush hearts of tin.
