TATTOO

TATTOO

Knowing that vanity is a fabric of the human makeup

It has always been with us and forever will remain

Individuals believing that tattoos is an extension of oneself

May have to conclude is just an extension in frailty

Listening to a radio program in Toronto

When the subject of tattoo was brought up

They were accepting feedbacks’ from those individuals with tattoos

Causing recollection of something heard prior to this program

The host of that radio show had some statistical information found on the internet

The checks and balances were done to verify the information for correctness

It indicated eighty percent of Canadian population had body tattoos

Being tattoo-less, finding some to be overly unique

Creativity plus style, credit must be given

When seen!

For the time, the nerve and the amount of cash required

Respect!

Shown to those brave souls

But on this particular radio show

The host aired several participants

They described their personal placement and style

The last one played will be remembered

It was the comment of a female

She said:

'What I am about to say,

I am not sure if it can be said on the radio,

But my tattoo is on the checks of my butt, it says'

"Exit Only!"

The world has changed

Verbal expression is no longer the norm

It is tattooing written in the flesh

Eighty percent of our population has become human billboards

To publicize their personal slogans

Because of the places they are located

It must be for advertisement only

Most individuals have yet to lay their own eyes on them

They have only seen a mirror reflection of their personal ad

Our new walking billboards

Of permanent art flesh expressions

Thorough tattooing

Presently taken to the extreme, in blood!

…reversing forward, future is history!

Writtenments…

…eighty-six of one thousand
