From the dark we want to enter
In the world that’s always blue.
But we’re poor and are not welcome,
by those, who just won’t let us through.
We all have rights and expectations,
the right, we all will see the light.
So here we are, crawling out of darkness
and go on battle for our lives!
Such a wonderfully symbolic depiction of the struggle and oppression that the underclasses in this world face. Great work, Ben.
Artist Reply: Thank you very much Elaine. Never see it as underclasses though, because no one has to bend for a other. I was a headwaiter but never bend to no one. We please but never bend. We are all born naked... nothing more, nothing less.
Artist Reply: Thank you Anneke... just thought when I would two planets get behind llike the sun and the moon, I could reach that effect of light and dark. So actually they are 2 planets.

Wow..... That's different Ben! There's a lot of symbolism going on here, isn't it?
