Confessions from a Vandal

Tue Oct 2, 2007, 6:11 PM
"all this negativity in graffiti", all this negativity that saturates and weighs down my fortress of solitude that i've built since birth, the one that society so chooses to entrap me in. "all this negativity in graffiti", is what they say. even though they say, they dont see whats in me. this bottomless pit of frustration and despair brought on by seeing your own slaughter each other every day. this never ending feeling of guilt that you can do nothing but stand by and support your countries decisions even though they're in one man's best interest instead of mankind's. you see, we're the one's left to deal with everyone's greed, everyone's selfishness, everyone's inability to feel what the man next to you is feeling. i feel like violently shaking society's chest in hope of filling it's hollowness with a breath of fresh air. maybe then they'd realize that what they see on they're walls, what they see on they're trains, what they see on the freeways, is nothing more than a direct reflection brought on by societies ills and perils we face through our everyday lives. a direct reflection of negativity steered away from our fellow man. i've felt the pain of man who decides to throw the weight of their own stress on another individual. i chose to break it by releasing it in one of the only outlets i knew, and that was graffiti. i didnt pick up a gun, i didn't rob anyone, i did no harm to my fellow man, i spoke my mind on a wall, i turned that negative in to a positive, straight from the heart and soul a picture frame of my life expressed on a public wall.

to me graffiti is constructive, not destructive. it's what i had, what i used to cope, what i used when there were guns and violence where i preside. and still after all of this, there's still "all this negativity in graffiti"......
