Sometimes you have to Sing to Believe!
or Pray to Receive!
THE PUBLIC TRANSPORT SKETCHER
Could you believe a line can speak ?
A stroke portray a mood.
Whatever goes through the sketchers mind,
His hands are out to prove!
The people watch, the people stare
For want, of a thing or two!
But nothing stops the Sketchers eyes!
He is determined, are you?
The moods, the strains, the wrinkles, they cry....
All for a chance to live and not to die
The sketcher pounces, without no bounds!
Sometimes, even with obstacles around!
But all for a sketch, a line or two........
Would you VOTE FOR ME TOO!
