Seldom or Sublime

 

Today; abound and prolific

Creativity resides exclusively

Within the innovative minds of

Thieves

A sampling generation utilizing arts

To chip away at the foundation of our

Divine inheritance, be it artless initials

Carved emphatically upon the sacred

Smile of Mona Lisa, or aborting the

Marble

That once gave birth to David by

Cloning through Nano technology

They scour about in abstract thicket

Of words we all generously call verse

 

Paint a brick-wall puke brown

Stack some metal cabinets in

An isometric façade, and a

Neoimpressionist

Imbecile with a decadent

Degree may declare your

Trash another ingenuous

Achievement in modern

Art

Profiteers exploiting art

A bidding war for the rights

To uninspired creations, somber

I trace the matte shades over this

Spiritless canvas, drunk upon my

Own censorious devices, for it’s

When I found the barometers

Of grace in any and all arts

Relate

Exclusively to the sophistication

Of the admirer, that I reckoned I’d

Never pry-open any eyes perverted

By shallow infiltrations to see the

Depth in sublime, nor share these

Visions I’ve forever held sacred

 

I can still hear the recruiting

Pitch of solicitors demanding

All to signup for the mandatory

Draft:

“Come sell your art for freedom’s sake

And keep your flesh and blood for a modest

Fee”

 

So

Today I’ll shut my eyes again

Cover my ears and curl up in a

Loathsome corner to self induce

This dismal state of amnesia over

My

Outraged mind.
