the next mona lisa

the teenager held his face in a confused state
he held the heavy spray can in his hand
how can he make this so it can't be rejected
but be considered beautiful

he has his share of space on the wall
but to put on there he has no idea
something describing beauty
something describing pain
something that can relate to him
and everyone else

this should not be considered illegal
but an art
an art that people should train for and practice
anger swells inside of him
for he can see
that people reject anything that a spray touches

pressure and rage take the best of him
he had to stop the prejudice towards graffiti artists
he decided to make a monument of his small town
that described it's history and the pain it met along the way


one metaphor, that's it

and people would agree that a graffiti drawing should be the next Mona Lisa
