wild mongoose of an artist
in the social fray
turned hot lights on everything
a prophet of his day
grosz gonzo grosz
extremely rare visionaire
his thoughtful winning shine
needles a civilization in decline
authoritarian decadence in
brushstrokes big and bold
grosz unequaled social critic
prescient foretold
casting poignant spotlights upon
cultural degeneration
bureaucrats misguided
moneyed interest waving fist
seeing through the careless snipes
who’d wipe goodness from our midst
stout hearted artists like george grosz
today are sorely missed
