Rocks, Colors Smeared on MAG
Rocks, colors smeared on,
Tell stories of their hunting.
Nature inspired
As time had passed, rock
Was broken instead, making
Art of Tomorrow
A picture became
A word, words form ideas,
Ideas made art
Reed presses into
Clay, writing has now begun.
Thanks, Sumerians
Art covers stonewall
For the dead, next to corpses
In the soft limestone
Hairs soaked with black paint,
Characters are painted now,
The East has now formed.
Phoenicians create
Phonetics, now sound marks word
Not the idea
Alpha and Beta
Become alphabet, Homer
Can now write of Troy
Middle East then is
Shaped, Hebrew and Arabic
Forge our religion
Romance becomes real,
Latin forks to Spanish,
French, and Italian
Paper then travels
Near and far, from China to
Spain into Europe
Fibers soak with ink,
Romeo and Juliet
Crafted by Shakespeare
Finally our works
Travel across sea, Explore
Beside Columbus
Washington fights for
The art of America,
Freedom expresses
Words mold our anthem
In eighteen-twelve, star and stripes
Sail o'er McHenry
Anne Frank made her art
She wrote in her diary
The horror was heard
Fingers meet plastic
As art is made on screens, now
Typing our fiction
Covers to velvet
Curtains, pages to the screen
Books become movies
