Basquiat

World renowned artist, versatile in his approach, never boxed in,

very free spirit, the chains of life set the fire to speak, speak up for his people in a way people would see,

his goal was not to be famous, to use the platform for the imagery to be Surreal in the life we breathe,

but as he achieved he realized people didn't want to see,

but only want to sell your dreams & soul for cheap,

want to enslave your drive for self gratification to the people in need,

living on edge was the culture, his work was him in world not right,

bringing people together was his goal, his work was the voice he built,

too bad we are still reluctant to see, instead of using his message to bring us closer in unison,

so caught up in greed, greater materials, most of us,

poorer than what we can even believe, so next time you see his paintings,

ask yourself is this me or am I being the monster in his dreams
