Vandalism or Art

Sometimes the distinction between good and bad can be a fine line or a large gray area. Grafitti on a wall can be a fine work of art and vandalism at the same time. It can be good if the owner of the wall gave permission, but bad without permission. In that cas, which wins? There's a large wall in downtown Fort Worth Texas that has a painted mural of a cattle stampede. Assuming permission was given, probably along with payment, that's an impressive work.

Back in the dark ages while standing at the urinal in a public restroom I scanned the scratchings on the wall. The act of defacing the wall of someone elses property is not a good thing, but I read the following.

Some come here to sit and think
Some come here to s*** and stink
I come here to scratch my balls
And read the bulls*** on the walls

Yes it was vandalism, but that little poem was a work of art that may forever stay in my memory.
