i have touched the blood
of those who bleed compassion
i have painted with their blood
and for this may one day lie
in prison for the truth
i have bled compassion from being touched and moved and stirred
and this is not enough
but it is all i have
and it is art
for dangerous times

Wow! I really dug this. Especially the following line: " I have painted with their blood
and for this may one day lie
in prison for the truth." That's a damn good line! Thanks for the good read!!
