Vincent Van Gogh

He only sold one of his paintings when he was alive
And his struggles through life was just to survive
He died in madness and in extreme poverty
Yet not many artists are as great as he
The story of Vincent Van Gogh is a story of struggles in life
A man who had to contend with great inner strife
In his thirty seventh year of life at his own hands he died
The artist who became renowned Worldwide
He died as a pauper life can seem unfair
The artist who created many a new millionaire
His paintings now worth millions in money he died poor and young
Depressed and in despair and his praises unsung
Neglected in life and a legend today
And one of the World's all time great artists the art experts now say.
