Walls Are To Write On





Source
Graffiti heaven is grey wall, spray paint, and a ladder.
Guerrilla Girls become
guerrilla grannies in time, but
still favor the purples, greens
and pinks that scream
from walls around the old guard
arts.  Masters of all are still
superior to none, we tell them
again and again, but do they heed 
our translations of God’s voice 
or of Nature’s behaviors? 
We work inside government
by day, and then practice
our arts outdoors at night. 
We shall die in service
in graffiti heaven, stepping
out with our ladder and paint.

  1. "Guerrilla Girls become guerrilla grannies" Such a true line and I love the voice of expression this represents. Those that give of themselves always do. This is both inspiring and wonderful Susan. So glad you joined us this week. Be safe my friend.

  2. I love the guerilla grannies.......I wrote about a raging granny too, but she was so pissed off I didnt post it. Smiles. We are a subversive lot, trying to change government from the inside by day, writing our frustration at its immobility by night.
