Stand my fellow artists: Stand and be RECOGNIZED

By Sticky Kitty

Kitty isn't spelled S E X Y
it's spelled like P U S S Y
sound it out like A R T I S T
can you relate
when you're in between
under your car when it's broke
spilling oil into my soul
I don't know G I R L S
spelled like G I R L Y
just confused poets
bleeding artists
spelled like G A G
pronounced like S I L E N T C R Y
we're only looking to be saved
from ourselves
from the fucking world
I don't like your kind
we're cutting
vomitting
shooting up
and bruised
stained with ink or primer
we dont eat by choice or
can't afford to
drink too much
what you call scum on the street
than teach our writings to your heart
hang our paintings on your walls
and
pay shit loads to see us sculpt
a fellow comrad naked
spelled like M O N E Y
starving
fill the fields with all you call normal
cake the streets with what you call outkast
spelled like S C A R E D
said like W E I R D
than ask your painters, writers, your starving artists to stand
and watch that asphalt crumble
