Some poems about Graffiti

Broken

Walking in the shadow of fear
Drowning endlessly by a single tear
Running along side of self-discover
Fearing the loss of self-recovery.

Is this fame?

Fame and fortune
Or the other way around?
Now I'm hanging here
Unable to make a sound.

I once were cool
Flying higher than birds.
Now this picture
Says more than words.

Graffiti Cars

They disturb and they smell
Some are Germans yelling
Schnell, schnell, schnell!

Cars are big and even though
People paint them, see it go!

Tall

I will rise
After every fall
I will rise
and stand even more tall

I will rise
over the wall
I will rise
above them all

Information on Graffiti

Graffiti is writing or drawings that have been scribbled, scratched, or sprayed illicitly on a wall or other surface, often in a public place.

Graffiti ranges from simple written words to elaborate wall paintings.

Modern graffiti is made by spray painting and pen markers.

In most countries it would be considered illegal to paint on other people’s property, so most of the artist does is to get thrilled.

Graffiti may also express underlying social and political messages and a whole genre of artistic expression is based upon spray paint graffiti styles.

Most of the graffiti artists work anonymously and leave their initials along with their work at the wall of display.

You can walk down your neighbourhood lane and then suddenly the next morning a new graffiti crops up. These can be simple or calligraphed writings or an elaborated work of painting.

Graffities are known to exist from ancient Egypt, Ancient Greece and the Roman Empire and can still be found at many places around the world.
