The graffiti artist for the popular culture. The man of many talents, without knowing his stature. The Guy who commands a presence on the street walls of the Worlds Cities. This poem is a homage to Bansky titled BANKSY—Art Can, can—BABS.

The inspiration for this Poem, I think started writing initially after the title popped into my head. It seemed quite unusual and yet scintillating. I didn't really know where the 'road' was going to lead to.. I knew about 'out of Africa' for the human race, and realized that that was what I was aiming for. Many African nations where 'gifted' mobile phones or very cheaply from the old used stock in the early 2000's and that was the return point to Africa - Namibia being the early tribesman - their region being where humanity is supposed to have sprung from!

A poem about the cubist painter of the last Century (20th). He was a surrealist artist, and in his earlier works painted in the neoclassical. Born in Spain, he escaped Franco's regime by being in exile in France. Some of his cubist art may have been influenced by his knowledge of the atrocities committed during the Spanish Civil war, especially in his Masterpiece Guernica. A lot of his Art is treasured Worldwide, and many of his paintings fetch huge sums at auction.

GAZA Today: Would You Turn Your Back. Everyone knows what Gaza is. A strip of land in the Middle East, being vociferously fought over. I don't want to get into the Politics of it, but at least a brush with it is unavoidable if you attempt any kind of dialogue or description of the occurrences that are happening there — truly awful. This poem is a short one, and keeps to the suffering of its people, and not delving too much into sides of the Political spectrum. I think the suffering in a modern day scenario with instant and graphic footage of this one-sided war is horrific.

Wear Me. A poem about relationships that are tanking, reaching burnout, esp. caused by War. The need to resolve and trust to rekindle for longevity. Keep bruising with life together, rather than the inevitable breakup.

Hope, the eternal fountain of hopefulness. Hope 2b is a poem about the proclivities of hope.
