Graffiti Artists
Kaci Tami 1960 (Vatukoula)
Graffiti Artists
I hate vandals, I hate thugs!
Especially the spray paint toting ones
The so-called “ Graffiti Artists”
Who leave their stupid tags everywhere?
To symbolise their daring
On someone’s gate, on someone’s walls
Intricate swirls, colourful motifs
declaring their bravado
created under the cover of darkness
From the silly to the intricate
From monochrome to a kaleidoscope
Some say its graffiti Art
I say it isn’t for I have yet
To find a Ken Done,
A Pro Hart or A Mona Lisa
Hanging in a public place
For all to see
Graffiti Artists if one may call them that
are just spray can toting terrorists
masquerading under a pseudonym
Holding the public to ransom
By polluting public space
Or someone’s fence, walls
Or on the sides of public transport
Like buses and Trains
To justify their desecration.
