Artistic Animals
we stand for creativity
for art
and for the wild creatures that create it
those wild artistic animals
the rebels
the radicals
the iconoclastic Beat
yeah we hear you stamping your Scouser feet
right here in Liverpool
shaking the Baltic’s docks
we stand for freedom
for your soul
of expression
and your spirit let it f**king go
we stand for belonging
there is no other
here
nor fear
we stand for family
we are your
s
time to come home
Xx
May Fox
For
The iconoclastic beat and their dirty bare feet.

Notes
Always. To Charles Foster you enlightened, empathetic and howling animal - thanks for teaching me that the foxes have always seen and heard and felt the real thing. Thanks to Joyce Caroll Oats for clarifying that, "Art is the highest expression of the human spirt". And artist Kamauu for, "... this is for your spirit soul let it go go go go go".
