Hidden verse





















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.
