Maybe If Someone
Maybe if someone
Stopped to look at graffiti
I don’t mean glance I mean really look
As if it was a Picasso, a framed beacon on a blank wall
Before replacing it with their own
Not criticize the gangs who are responsible
But analyze, decode
The way we do with artifacts born millenniums ago
The way a city views itself
Its identity
Its citizens’ identities
Their desire to reassembled when there was no whole to begin
The ones built on friction lines
Glued to freight trains and mines
Cities that broke before building began
Where flowers blossom between cracks in sidewalks
In a minuscule village in Rwanda
Yes, Rwanda, yes I know about the Genocide
There is more to this nation than its past 16 years
If a woman was being harassed
She would scream
Once
And in a land of mountains and bullet shots
Someone would come
And they did
Maybe if buildings
Were made of chalkboards
And thoughts unspoken could write
Perhaps someone would listen
To those already yelping.
