I used to do political graffitti in college… Now I know it sucks, especially when i see the divisions they create —But then, as an art I still love it 🙂
There is a freight railway in Pittsfield, Massachusetts, right across from the abandoned General Electric plant. A short wall runs along the tracks, and is covered, literally covered, with graffiti. It almost looks like it is made of nothing but spray paint. I see it as a fitting expression of urban rage by a city, first contaminated then abandoned.
tony – forgive me for bringing the point here – but it seems my posts are no longer visible on your blog, and your posts have been edited so as not be directed at me anymore…Furthermore any new posts are no longer visible on your blog. May I ask why my posts have been censored? I thought we had a good dialogue going on there.
in the Philippines, our walls get plastered with campaign posters whenever the elections approach… really messy to look at…
I bet! I do like the look of graffiti though, some say its a mess others see it as art 🙂 Thanks for dropping by ishabelle

Another great haiku!
“Suffocating wall” — great image, and i like the way you put it at the end — very stylish!
Thanks for the comment Tony, great to see you here!
