Graffiti

Graffiti can be so great
Don't you think?
Anonymous promises of love
Shattered by a smudged digit

Another one lost from Fred
Who wants to take a drink?
Some star of hate in memorial
Makes you fidget

Others promise the end of time
Or one of the best times
Left unfinished by encroachment
Of some faceless authority

Brief episodes of the artistic
And less significant of the grotesque
Dropped here another can
Left here the stain of man

Let it alone faceless one
Roll on by to protect and serve
Let your life keep living
And time will keep you laughing

Graffiti can be so great
Don't you think?
Whether rolling on a cattle car
Or sleeping under a sink

    What an original poem! I can't help but wonder what caused you to write on this topic? I truly think it's very well constructed, and the word choicing really rings visual life to the poem.
