Graffiti

Scribbled on public urinal walls Scrawled on latrines of cinema halls Sexy messages with illustration Depicting process of procreation Pithy remarks voicing political conviction Agitprop's propaganda in cute slogan Sometimes so obscene that the reader is blushed Sometimes so confusing that he is nonplussed Often revealing a pent up feeling Or divulging clandestine dealing Is this advanced version of caveman drawings? Or stark human soul that in darkness sings? Shall we call it safe dumping of public id? Or hungry hearts that in loneliness bleed? Be it as it may, it's something grotesque And for its advance weeds of taboo bushwhack It's hazardous to ignore writings on walls Though it neither bewitches nor enthralls
