Empty Signs - From High School

 Empty Signs


Everywhere you see in the streets

Of the commonly crowded places

A lot of posters, a lot of signs

You can see them all around


Some are big, some are small

Some are paper, some are steel

But what they really make you feel

Is really nothing at all


The publicists that make these things

Spend a lot of time doing them

But what's really interesting is

Other people don't look at them


Obviously, the cause of this is modern society

People are so checked in time they can't afford to look at them

But without the society, it's amusing to note

That signs really never make any effect at all


They serve now only as guidelines

Looking for houses, buildings, and parks

But without anyone noticing them

These signs work together to make a real work of art


Posters on the post, drawings on the squares

Even the graffiti that is seen below the bridge

Everything has something written that was designed as art

And together they make some kind of 3D collage


Imagine all the work of art that has been written down

Mixed together in different shapes, designs, and colors

And put together all around in mostly a random way

That's what this work of art is more or less about


The problem with this is

That nobody really notices

And it's very improbable

That people will ever do
