Modern Cave Painting

Hi, I’m young, I want to belong,
I come from the school of hard knocks.
So I stamp my tag, wherever I want,
On the side of the shipping train box.

Hi, well, I’m the unemployed artist,
With a political agenda display.
I leave it in all noticeable spots,
With a large cardboard stencil and spray.

Yeah, hi, umm, good to meet you, 
I’m the neurotic office clerk.
And, by day at the office, I create little stickers,
That I stick up on signs, after work.

Hey guys, I’m the invisible man,
My blockbusters aren’t meant to be small,
When I leave them all over the side,
On the biggest brick grandiose wall.

These are the folks alive in our jungle,
They’re our modern surviving Tarzan,
Graffitying, in colour, what can’t be said,
Their ideas, our youth with spray can.

Nice poem here Lewis! Thank you for shining a spotlight on those who are deemed "little", but that no way diminishes their value!
