Starry Night

Tupac's excerpt is actually written to Van Gogh, but group 2 (the best group ever) noticed that it could have been written about God. The painting looks like it is from the perspective of a deity, in the poem Tupac addresses Van Gogh but it could easily be conveyed as from God, rather than Van Gogh. From lines 11 and 12 "So on that starry night you gave to us and you took away from us", the main point of the poem is that Van Gogh was never appreciated until his death.

You don't know what you've got until it's gone.
