Graffiti

Swirls of vivid color

Abstract designs

Graffiti is a form of art.

Even if they are gang signs.

Talented street artists

With spray cans in hand.

Their designs are all so varied

Sometimes, they’re really grand.

Expressions of reality

With no formal training.

Their canvas is the world

Graffiti is a form of painting.

The side of a building

The side of a train.

This particular form of art

Is often met with disdain.

If given a place to express themselves

Without fear of the law

They’d go from thug to artist

They could get paid to draw.
