On Van Gogh

His paintings are worth millions in money today Yet he only sold one in his lifetime which seems sad to say Though he died of wounds self inflicted he is now known Worldwide His love of art that had made him a pauper ended for him in suicide The Netherland's if not one of the World's greatest artists who lived without a partner or wife For one of his greatness he deserved a far better life Always very poor and mentally quite unwell Life for poor Vincent Van Gogh was an earthly hell Rated by many as a World all time great arist his art on display On the walls of the World's great art galleries of today An artist destined to become famous who died a young man Nothing in his life for him seemed to go to plan The artist who created many a millionaire Though sad to say stories like his are not even rare In his death of mental anguish he did set himself free How sad very sad life for some can be.
