Let It Bleed
#1
“The Wall” we thought of self-
absorbed victim-hood the top,
as Waters mutilated his mug
using self pity as a drug:
bemoaning the fact that his father
was not there having died
so that his son might live, to sit
knee deep in fame and money
while crying about social isolation,
depression and despair;
but that narcissistic apex would
have to wait for the coming of
Frida Kahlo's patron saint,
the Madonna of moral taint.
Unfortunately for poor Frida,
a pole rammed through the pelvis
gave validity to her complaint.
Hardly the same as the legions
that adore her (suffering), in effigy
as if a kindred spirit,
though there is not the
slightest hint of any similarity.
Their moaning has more
to do with not getting what they
want, rather than any missing need.
They say their wound’s internal.
I say, let it bleed!"

How long after picking up the brush, the first masterpiece?

The goal is not to obfuscate that which is clear, but make clear that which isn't.
