Wow! Came across this painting by Silvisrivers on Flickr. He left a poem as a comment on my Scientist pic, so I went exploring his work.

And this one absolutely kicks all butt for me. Protest art of the highest order.

It spurred me to recall one of my protest poems:

AFTER

by Roy Blumenthal

shattered by the tanks.


Do click on the picture for a full-sized view, and go take a look at the rest of this dude's art. Wow!
