I am an aspiring writer and poet. I find words delightful. Every poem, or story that I read or write, enriches me. 'Read a thousand books (or stories), travel a thousand miles'.

The beauty in graffiti's artform
Years ago graffiti was viewed as an illegal activity and condemned as malicious destruction of property. It was seen as mere vandalism by the wayward wanton youth who was a waster of time and was also a scourge on society. We never stopped to think that it was the youth trying to express themselves in the only way that they had available to them. That they found and saw beauty in the freeform of expression giving their voices an outlet and substantive value. Beauty is everywhere. One just has to look hard enough.

Is it fair to say that someone who is college or university educated is more deserving of respect than someone who, armed with street smarts, and is perhaps a school dropout, still managed against all odds to make a success of his or her life. This success may have been gained by less direct means than would be deemed acceptable to the academia of the central schools of thought.
