Oh Michael, Oh Jean, O Ernest, Richard
Give me the life that is full of imperfections
Brought by the brush and the pen
Michael Angelo in Italy painted pictures of Catholic churches
They transitioned in to visual trademarks
Proclaimed by the people as religious remedies
Jean Basquait dies one night talking trash with Bo-Derek cracked out on sexual sins
Ernest Hemingway mysteriously moves to East Africa
His new sleepless Seattle, suicide secretly creped inside while he wrote about death
Oh Michael, Oh Jean, O Earnest, Richard
Wright wrote the nigger native Bigger Thomas to tackle internal race relations
Battling backlash baptisms of radical reformation
The masses became inclined to segregate themselves from the art forms
Dismissing M, J, E, R
Citizens of folly, hear me roar
Passionate prayers are what they need
I desire to see the imperfections still.
~
You may have the universe if I may have Italy.
~Giuseppe Verdi~
