The Sign

Oil on Canvas 

18”x20”x1/2”
Welcome to the West
Where you're free to be queer
And to start your career
I'm impressed
Welcome to the West
Where folks tip in bars
And walk out in front of cars
Dispossessed
Welcome to the West
I have an address
But the paperwork says 
I'm a guest
Welcome to the West
Living here is a breeze
Full of taxes and fees
It's a test
Welcome to the West
Regulations are key
And “healthcare is free”
Well, In jest!
Welcome to the West
Where you gain lots of fans
But they don’t honour plans,
I digress
Welcome to the West
Land of freedom and such
But the genocide is hard
to Digest
Welcome to the West
I am stressed
But I'm blessed 
On my quest
With the skill I've possessed
I've progressed
Welcome to the West
This place is the Best
