<h1>Perspectives of an artist</h1>
<div class="level1">

<p>
&lt;WRAP > <em>I once met an artist from the Orang Asli of Malaya who have been forced onto small reservations by the invading Melayu people. His angry work told a sad story which was lost on his potential customers.</em> &lt;/WRAP>
</p>

<h2>By the subject of the picture</h2>
<div class="level2">

I live my life from day to day.<br/>

The strangers come and slash and burn<br/>

I ache to complain — but must “wait my turn”.&lt;/WRAP>
&lt;WRAP >Then comes this artist to paint my life,<br/>

But really I want him to just paint my wife.<br/>

I smile with respect<br/>

He picks up his brush&lt;/WRAP>
</p>

</div>

<h2>By the artist</h2>
<div class="level2">

<p>
&lt;WRAP >The artists sees more, sees the torment and pain<br/>

Paints it out clearly again and again<br/>

Tells the world the bleak story<br/>

of histories gory,<br/>

of wrecked angular lives<br/>

through rectangular frames;<br/>

of flashing curved knives<br/>

slicing homes without names.&lt;/WRAP>
&lt;WRAP >The world needs to know<br/>

And I know I can show.<br/>

My pictures are clear<br/>

And are deeply sincere&lt;/WRAP>
&lt;WRAP >And you’d better believe what you’re seeing!!&lt;/WRAP>
</p>

</div>

<h2>By the potential buyer of the picture</h2>
<div class="level2">

<p>
&lt;WRAP >Its nice there’s so much red.<br/>

It’ll go with the wall in the hall.<br/>

“What’s that you said?”<br/>

There’s a message and all?&lt;/WRAP>
&lt;WRAP >O, Yes,<br/>

A message.<br/>

Well the faces are nice<br/>

The style is intriguing&lt;/WRAP>
&lt;WRAP >Look at the brushwork<br/>

It’s all so appealing&lt;/WRAP>
&lt;WRAP >You know what,<br/>

It’s so avant-garde<br/>

We’ll give it its place —<br/>

Outside in-the yard.&lt;/WRAP>
