there are poems hidden in graffiti
verses secreted in the urban scrawl.
meaning hides itself within the artwork
and in the pictures on the subway wall.
stark may be the mural sketching
but a simple truth is lurking there.
its message to the ones that seek
is written clearly: ‘we don’t care.’
rhythmic beats emerge in colours
from the concrete stand and boundary wall.
the tempo screams that we are human
the rhythm beats that we stand tall.
there are poems hidden in graffiti.
there are messages within the street motif.
none of us should ever shy from freedom,
individual identity and self-belief.
