Paroles de Painted Over Graffiti
It's more than painted over graffiti,The trouble with our world today.
The problem is bigger than a paint brush,
Used to wash wanton layers,
Worn off colours, away.
Strategic historical scholars, studied to rote,
Besmirch budding Buddhists babies,
Learning to vote by thinking.
What a novel concept!
If people would just pay attention,
The whole damn world could get smart.
No lessons learned,
Old leaves not even turned.
No values passed between
Because values, then,
Weren't the popular thing,
To be in, with it, man.
Can you dig it?
~~It's been decades since I painted graffiti.
Such verse is not the pen of my craft today.
But, there are 50 something million
Americans saying,
We won't let you whitewash us away.~~~
So I'll face every day on my own terms.
The representatives stand for me, too.
There was a new one here, just elected. Politics and oil infiltrate damnly,
Tearing apart the precious part of family.
God, peace, and love be praised.
Because, we said,
"All you need is love,
All together now. . . ."
Remember all the words?
And how they made you feel?
Life is happening now.
What YOU do is real.
Only you
Can prevent . . .
Learning to vote by thinking.
What a novel concept!
If people would just pay attention,
The whole damn world could get smart.
No lessons learned,
Old leaves not even turned.
No values passed between
Because values, then,
Weren't the popular thing,
To be in, with it, man.
Can you dig it?
~~It's been decades since I painted graffiti.
Such verse is not the pen of my craft today.
But, there are 50 something million

There was a new one here, just elected. Politics and oil infiltrate damnly,
Tearing apart the precious part of family.
God, peace, and love be praised.
Because, we said,
"All you need is love,
All together now. . . ."
Remember all the words?
And how they made you feel?
Life is happening now.
What YOU do is real.
Only you
Can prevent . . .
