'Self portrait' - Pencil on paper- 30x30cm
Dear fellow Steemers,
It's never easy to explain the content of a drawing.. Given the fact, it's all about the emotion beyond the words.
So usually, I assume my drawings telling everything they have to say, without words. When the spectator takes enough time to look intense , no words needed.
But for this specific work (below), after the drawing was finished, I had the urge to formulate the idea behind the drawing in a poem. And the biggest part was already formed in my mind and banged for weeks in my head as a mantra. So, I had to write it down and finish it. Must to, so I did...
The final result has become a slam poem that can be read as an afterthought on the drawing.
So, I suggest, you look at the picture first. Make your own story, giving own meanings on the different aspects you look at.
And only after that, I invite you to read my slam poem.
Just because, in that order, my words won't affect you experience. And it's good to keep that pure!
The collage drawing is composed of 32 images and it took me 4,5 months to finish it.
With this I told everything interesting to know so I can leave y'all with a safe heart.
Thanks for your time and feel free to share me your experience.

The Government only wants the best for you and always has your health in mind.
BuT! Mon-santo's enterprise has so many benefts we”re inclined to close one eye.
Yup, the love for the money makes blind, so the truth will be redesigned and reality will be grind.
A strategy that never will be decoded, packed and presented with a beautiful bow that will never be noted.
We ban the one, but it's all covered and coated: 'smokers die younger' while the E cigarettes are promoted.
Still not 100% tested, but time will unload it.
And when it turns out bad we just have to yell:
'It's outmoded!'
And don't smoke herbs because it's drugs, it's not allowed and not good for your soul.
But our biggest concern is that you might start think too much for yourself and than you don't ft our keyhole. It's too mind-expanding and we don't want to lose the mass control.
You better drink, that narrow minded drug is allowed and let you think like a troll.
As long as you stay on our payroll, let your cole roll, cause: Money, money, money... makes the world go round, world go round, world go round, the Dow Jones is our play- playground. Let the pound propound!
So... ... Shut the fuck up, do your forced work, buy stuf and pay your loans is how it sounds.
We keep the things together with fear and the tyranny of choice.
Without personal voice or vote, doesn't matter what the newspapers wrote.
They are just political colored anecdote- quotes, we put bugs in the ear that covers up the hidden plan.
Because just... we can while we let you think you're the man.
But when the matter a fact, your qualities have no place in our vision.
We have to label high sensitivity, autism, syndrome of down as a condition.
Philosophers, artists and open-minded people are dangerous because they are a threat for our mission.
We know, we know, It”s a pity for you but unfortunately that's our decision.
