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
