People! I beg you,
open your eyes.
Realize, wake up,
accept that
a completed work
an idea
is reliant on togetherness;
recognizing the necessity of
our interdependence.
Ideological beliefs
break frames- they are
unaccepting notions which
scatter and strangle
all possibilities of beauty,
spirituality and peace.
Never a compromise
means no halfway
no connection
no balance
not a grain of selflessness
nor an indication of bending.
Only a firm and rigid intolerance,
inconsideration
for color or culture; nor
each person's poverty or illness.
Varying hues, some vibrantly different
thoughts which loosely
stitch the world
into disconnected sounds, segments
that make nothing on their own;
pieces that shout what needs to be done.
Yet, nothing sewn into a complete
work of Art.
A publicized, 24 hour media
fists and fires on the streets-
pictures and people that
ask and tell---
yet nothing to show,
nothing to show!
We don't need to imagine
the Artless World,
a world without art,
where all things are said
and nothing is done.
Please undo what is;
quilt us together
as one composition,
full of problems and differences
yet unselfishly residing,
under the flattering, natural
lights of the sun and the moon.
Illuminate our textures as
part of the whole.
This is so true. Can't image a world without art. I just can't.
ReplyDeleteYes, me too. Yet it's not about art in that sense. Did you recognize that I wrote all this as a metaphor for how our people are divided and racist and politicians don't create anything?
ReplyDeleteYour metaphors are eloquent.
