this mongoose of an artist
in a gonzo fray,
shining light on everything,
a prophet of his day.
grosz, insightful visionaire
he’d fabulously shine
his canvas putting needles on
civilization in decline.
authoritarian decadence in
brushstrokes big and bold…
grosz unequaled social critic
prescient, foretold.
casting flawless light upon
the worst degeneration,
bureaucrats misguided,
moneyed interests waving fists
grosz portraying toxic snipes
who’d wipe goodness from our midst!
courageous artists on the scene
today are sorely missed.
