"Bathroom Voices"
  by *Rainbow*


In between the cracks of walls are the lones of desecration of the city's institution,
But it is needed.
Handwriting is scribbled like it's graffiti from a 5-year old.
They write poetry on the bathrrom walls down at the library,
Talking about how negroes need to act right.
Asking in blue ink who wants to fuck.
After a piss and shit that reeks,
They paint opinions in Pilot pens to make it so bold and black it offends someone at first sight.

I went there today.
Every line was blurted out by the color of a blueberry slush.

The second desecration.

most people when they go into the bathroom they ignore the walls because they know it will say something vulgar(depending on where you go) this is interesting and made me think about the many trips i've taken to a public restroom. The imagery in this poem is rich. I love it.

Yes plenty of people express themselves on bathroom writing especially at High Schools and other public places..Most of the things you real you might find offensive indeed.I'll give this one ten stars
