“The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion.” Banksy
Shining The wind pushes down making waves with little white peaks shining in the midst of the grey deep, beacons of a stirring, rolling freely, carrying life in their awake where fish care to fly, just like young prophets who call down every street with words of freedom pressing down, making waves, shining in their deep awake, calling us to fly. ©Paul Vincent Cannon

I like watching a flying fish and I even like a graffiti but sometimes I find it more towards vandalism. These young souls need their space but there must be some other way.

I love graffiti which is art, but I don’t like tagging so much.

Paul, I like “young prophets.” I think that is the proper perspective. Regardless of the sabotage, the persecution, and the opposition, theirs is the right message. Loved this poem! ❤ Take care, Cheryl
