FABULOUS ART





What a fabulous crime to sacrifice art
Ridiculous to dispute the excuse
Even with words
Art is the disease and the cure
Balanced and obscured

Spirit calls for stillness
Quiet ranting laughter


What a fabulous claim to sacrifice yourself in art
The nature of being alive or is it an excuse
Ridiculous to dispute, to even use words to say
Art is the disease, don't you know the lies
To keep you in kind, wrapped up in your mind
Believing the muses to be
On your side

Spirit is calling you to simply be still
Shut up for a minute and breathe out
Ranting laughter to shadow and confuse
Shit-eating grin in fine passive-aggressive
Fashions co-dependent minions
To art they prey

Wrapping themselves around you
Constricting your flame
They dare not snuff out the fire
That fuels their fun
Keeps them in harmony
Sacrificed to the numb
Idea that there is meaning in art

Who cares not for form or content
Thought in our human brains
This serial captor, to art let the flame
Burn yourself away until the cure has freed
Soul from art and its distracting disease
