Artist (1971)

Bearing in mind the pictures

of a kingdom he had
previously painted he sat.
A palet of planets, a
complete rainbow of colours.

If he weren't here the

world would be black

and white, he made
paint he revived the
pictures of a kingdom.

If he weren't here, there
would just be night
and day and rain
between, he made paint
He made the kingdom.

Moses wouldn't have parted
the waters without him. Cars
wouldn't have a side of the
road to travel on without
him. There'd be no paint.

Darts would never hit their
targets there'd be no targets
to hit. The day could always
be grey. There'd be no-one
to paint it.

But he was the artist the
creator of the pictures of a kingdom
He created the kingdom.
