It seems Strange., Painting, Acrylic on MDF Panel

2021

About the Item

It seems strange to think of all these foreign cities covered in rubble If my home was like that I think I’d trouble myself to sweep up a bit and tidy my shelf Always shouting screaming and shuffling around You wouldn’t catch me acting like that in my little town ‘It’s lack of Pride! It’s lack of Respect!’ But a needling voice in my head says ‘I suspect…’ It might be difficult to clean and polish when drones and airstrikes are called to demolish Your little corner of safety Your humble nest When trooping troops are called at the behest Of greedy politicians oceans away Why the fuck do they get their say On what is burnt, battered and skinned Who called them up? Who let them in? They’re after a man, a group, a sect Exploding the city What do they expect? We’ll get out of the way, move all of our children Okay, we got out in time, what do we do now then? But not all of us did People squashed to jam Dust clouds and glass shards Orphaned babies and burning cars It seems so unreal in a distant country That anything like this could happen to me But remember that smoking hole in the ground Where fruits trees grew and laughter was found Was once a home much like yours Explain to me again why we need these wars? It’s for freedom and liberty whatever than means I hope it arrives neatly packaged for you Because it seems for me, completely untrue. :: Painting :: Contemporary :: This piece comes with an official certificate of authenticity signed by the artist :: Ready to Hang: Yes :: Signed: Yes :: Signature Location: Bottom right front :: MDF Panel :: Portrait :: Original :: Framed: No
