This wild mongoose of an artist
Snapping in the social fray
turning lights on everything
a prophet of his day
A thoughtful and extremely rare
artist Visionaire
his particular winning shine
showed its detail for all time
A civilization in Decline
the Nazi rise it would unfold
in his paintings big and bold
Grosz unequaled social critic
Prescient foretold
Casting poignant imagery
Cultural degeneration
bureaucrats misguided
drippy grifters waving fists
Authoritarian Decadence
Grosz would be confronting this
Dramatizing evil snipes
who’d wipe the goodness from our midst
Courageous artists like George Grosz
today are sorely missed
