Urban Canvas
Urban Canvas
Imagine a world of many colors with mothers, fathers’ sisters and brothers. With two sides one of both truth and lies. With a symphony of sirens and bright lights the city that never sleeps working hard day and night. There are battles on different fronts be man prove you are not a punk, disease is the one that kills more than suicide pills. The war of the flesh and spirit only the righteous will hear it, feel and experience what you go through as we grow through.
Lets paint a picture and lets call it society give it laws, rules and regulations and expand it into on every nation. Call that reality add some humans of different races languages and different faces. Lets warp and distort our beliefs add racism and sculpt prejudice in to an abstract relief. Because it is every man for him self, pride over punishment and no one around to help. Never judge a book by its cover label it and put it back on the shelf. Lets emboss our creation with poverty and wealth between those who succeed and those who are in need. Light candles for those whose blood soaked the streets at the height of a beef down to the roots of memorial decorated trees.
