Death on Original Boulevard

Deep into the night is when art is born

Never taking shape nor form, just making its existence known

And within a blink of an eye…

An individual has been deemed the creator of their perspective art

The soul bound to a canvas…

Where words become visuals, and pictures become full-length novels

Eternalizing a story from the mind of its Originator

Star gazing off the stoop of where it all begins

I witness all that passes on this street

Concepts fly in the air, and dreams are the roots to the trees

Stones of ambition pave the roads, and the future provides the light for me to see

I walk these streets every day and every night, obeying the rules

Creativity governs everything on this side of town

Every once in awhile, outsiders come to these parts

Searching and yearning for something to make them stand out

They slaughter the concepts and pick ideas from the local trees

Masquerade themselves as a Creator, to get closer to Creativity

Blending in the crowd of creative geniuses, they prowl the streets

Little by little, art loses its genuine glow

Over shadowed by vacuous duplicates and false claims to its origin

By the ones that still remain creatively virgin

I’ve seen the Mona Lisa painted in over ten different versions

Originality is in need of purging…

I saw the thief for myself, and I couldn’t hold back my emotion

As a creative mind, I had to approach him

Knowing who I was, he started to run

But on Original Boulevard, I am the Law and The Gun

Alike minds gathered from far and near, to view the bloodstained streets

Just like that the thief was killed…murder with a righteous cause

A momentous persecution…sending a clear message

There will be no thieves allowed in Creativity’s presence
