Push a pencil.
Push a paint brush.
Use a stencil.
Blank paper…

“Fill it with what you will my child, but I must warn you;
do not let your lines become too disordered and wild,
for then people might not understand what you mean,
and not know it is a work of art they have seen.

An attempt to extract meaning;
Failure on the critics’ part.
“This man is a fool,
How can you call this art?”

“No talent do you have,
You’re outside the lines.”
The teacher criticises the piece,
Putting limits on minds.

“Why not be more like this man?
His lines straight and flowing;
His creative talent exquisite;
He appeals to my knowing

Cut the paper in half,
Start to paint on the back,
This person possesses,
What the other ones lack.

Understood by himself,
He creates his own vision.
Masterpiece or a shambles?
Now that’s your decision.
