hunter fifty four: The writing on the wall

08 July 2022

The writing on the wall,

Is only a graffiti.

I am searching for paintings:

On the walls of the caves,

On the pillars of the metro,

On the pillars of the flyovers,

On the murals of buildings,

On the sky with a rainbow.

ashishroyk said...: That's another set of paintings most of us like. My own thing was about pessimism versus optimism, but I guess you have taken it another level. Resonates with Silverstein's 'Where the sidewalk ends.'

...

Let us leave this place where the smoke blows black
And the dark street winds and bends.
Past the pits where the asphalt flowers grow
We shall walk with a walk that is measured and slow,
And watch where the chalk-white arrows go
To the place where the sidewalk ends.

Yes we'll walk with a walk that is measured and slow,
And we'll go where the chalk-white arrows go,
For the children, they mark, and the children, they know
The place where the sidewalk ends.; 9 July 2022 at 12:08
