A man of mystery
A man of talent
A man who makes you think,
A man who makes you wonder what's right, what's wrong, when you thought you knew all along.
Is Banksy man or myth?
We know so little of this man who can paint with brush or spray can.
He remains hidden, unseen, unknown, a mystery.
Signing his Tag on bridges and walls,
Mocking figures of justice, highlighting the worthy cause.
His paintings are worth thousands of pounds, not all remain in tact, some get recovered and that's a fact.
Councils who do not like the message displayed, white them out in a matter of days.
None the less his fame has grown, his pictures displayed and shown in museums around the world.
Yet no one can put their hand on their heart and say I've known this man from the start.
That's why Banksy remains an enigma.
A man of mystery

A man who makes you think,
A man who makes you wonder what's right, what's wrong, when you thought you knew all along.
Is Banksy man or myth?
Anyone know?

I love street art and when on holiday in Amsterdam was very lucky to stumble across a Banksy and Dali exhibition, two very intriguing artists. Banksy is as good on canvas as he is on walls.
