So Different You Be.


The Son of A Preacher,born 30th of March 1853

he thought his true calling ,like his father,was 2 preach relegiously

but how wrong was he

he later would see,he was not mean't 2 be

a preacher,like his father.

 

Expression highly emotional

lacking in 

lacking in

He

He

struggled with his identity,

 

Deep down he yearned 2 express freely

2 manifest that which was hidden,into being

out of sight

out of mind

he be

But not for long

over time

he'd see.

 

After trying to preach for afew years or so

he decided that this was not right for he

and finally embarked,heading toward, his innate,

state of being

A

Sojourner 

An exceptional individual

that came into being.

 

He found it hard 2 sell his exceptional art 

2 the artistic and non artistic believers

this exacebated his depressive

sometimes so tired demeanour

but despite this,he carried on

carried on forever.

 

Symbolic form,powerfully extraordinary

completely absorbed in his art,

the price he paid for living his way

brought on his 

on-off  unstable mental anguish 

 

He worked with urgency

seeking  peace of mind

but his disturbed mind may have

added intrepid movement

2 all his work.

 

Success during his liifetime,eluded he

but oh Vinny

how you stamped your Legacy on the World

 

A legacy that firmly lives in our lives

a power, that at times,

you found hard 2 understand

all you knew,was 2 create

2 create

2 create

in your

in your 

 creative world

Creativity enveloped your soul.

 

One of the most Influential individual

in the World,even Universe

I Salute you Vinny.

I Salute you Vinny

I Salute your Soul.

I Salute your Soul.
