AliEnZ

What are you made of

When heaven hits you square in the eyes

Hits you with the blood of hell

What spews forth from your neck

Is it truth in love

Or is it lies and hate

But even then in what fashion

Does it flutter on delicate feet

Or gush out with a zesty passion

How does your head turn

What do you see

When I unstrip my epidermis

And show you the true me

Very cool Sir BIKAADi !!....I love the fact that you stopped to take the time....to bring this painting from the wall of  Tram-Station.....into existence.....with these marvelous words of yours.....a poetic incantation (if you will)......and true to the 8o's punk theme that it so desperately attempts to convey.....you have breathed a longer life into it!!.......ALL STARS!!....well done dear poet brother!!.....LOVE & ROCKETS!!.......T xo  :  )

Aw, thanks so much Tony! 🥰 I found the mural both jarring and aesthetically attractive at the same time. It inspired the poem but I gathered they had to go hand in hand apiece. So I went back the next day and took a photo. 😅
