Graffiti Poem
two things that are very dear to me are graffiti and music, so i decided to bond the two. i wrote these lines and i wrote music for them also.
i look at things buffed over, and wonder what stood there,
what hands once gave this dead wall life, did the people even care?
each line had a meaning, every colour which was used,
meant something to the writer, now his work had been removed.
but i say let them preach and wreck,
let us have our pride and shame,
to you and the world we'll all mean nothing,
at least the walls will know our names.
"writers will never die", i once read that on a door,
and these words are branded in my mind, though these words have been buffed over.
sorry if the lyrics cause some confusion. the terms used are terms or slang used in graffiti: when i say writer i mean a graffiti writer and "buff" means when people paint over or clean off graffiti.
i know its short and its supposed to be because its meant to be a song, not a rap.
