NOT ART!
Sorry, I couldn't resist. :-) Actually, I kind of like it.
Maybe the artist has a name
If not, I'll call them Captain Obvious.
Well, more like ...
"Things will stay the same, unless they change."
That used to be called defacing public property
But, whatever.
This Used To Be Called Being a Grouch
But, whatever.
It won/t be like this all the
It won/t be like this all the time. But, whatever.
In what era did anyone care?
This sort of thing is fairly temporary and goes back to the most ancient times in which people could write.
I seem to recall in your halcyon good old days that nobody gave a flying fuck about it, like, ever. It was the 1990s before any efforts to clean things up came about.
I dont know
If anyone gave a "flying fuck" or not. I do know what it was called, and it wasn't art.
You don't get to decide what is, or isn't, art...
Nor do I. There are far worse things for you to grumble about.

I paint what I see.
I paint what I see.
Yes I do
Where is that rule written?
If I paint some slogan in front of someones house and call it art , I bet there would be disagreements. One person's art is another person's graffiti
better
It is way better than those public murals, and doesn't last nearly as long.

I leave it behind
I leave it behind
My words are my by-line
But I want you to see
It's me, me, me
But you know I fear jail time
Not really positive
It says a little something that y’all think this is a positive message.
aka: The only constant is change

You could thank the artist
You could thank the artist dude's attitude with gratitude for the platitude.
Context is everything
I saw one of these in Soho Square in London last winter, where it was a much more depressing statement than it would be in Central. Sorry, Cambridge.
Yeah.
Yeah. Can't decide if I'm supposed to read this as a pep talk or a threat.
Chalk, okay. Paint, not okay
