Paint what you have seen
Telling how it all came about
Let the world know what you mean
Paint what you have seen
They can’t be no in-between
Clean your brush and let it out
Paint what you have seen
Telling how It all came about
Jim Mallin
This triolet relates to an earlier poem by Jim A Picture Shows a Thousand Wounds inspired by a Paul Nash 1918 painting We Are Making a New World.
We Are Making a New World (1918), collection of the Imperial War Museum, London. Artist: Paul Nash
