I've once seen people go in and out of that beautiful gallery throughout
Awed with it's glittering splendor, their eyes in a deep surrender
There stood a magnificent picture, As if it was bathed in golden glitter They'd always stop by to give it a praise They would stand in front of it for days
For it was a painting wonderfully made, Fine strokes of brush with marvelous shade
There it spoke only one language: Perfection; an old dialect and adage
The people presented were curiously happy. A child, an adult, fighting over candy As the others just watched and laughed Their joyously gay craft
The artist never thought of a glimpse of sorrow Heck, the worst thing there was an unearthly wallow
And of course everything was accompanied by an aesthetic hue, Colors that somehow don't know the word: adieu
But somehow I never seem to be amazed of that painting people always crazed For only I can see what it really is: A picture no less than ****
They see fine strokes When I see it in smokes
They see a marvelous shade While I see a boring cascade
I beg them to give the gallery reprieve But they never listen, they never leave
For I can see the colors dying Yet why won't they start crying? But I can't blame them for what they say, Only I can see that picture fading away...
