This is the page of thieves that robs the artistic eye
Where poets give a rhyme for every dime and crumb:
Valiantly in certainty I would say, "Not I!"
Howbeit, know not what my work will become.

To Man's wealth, abundance and boon,
They steal his visions, prowess and wits,
Of unshaven bristly timber, is roughhewn,
Whose merits traded for callous profits!

O' what fine taste prosperity has!
Drink it too much you lose your pizazz.
Yet for the poor man in need and in dearth,
Imagination comes ripe and thumps the earth!

Take NOTE: this poem may not apply to everyone. Nonetheless,
based on my experiences and what I have seen when a writer
of any kind or Artist becomes famous, wealthy or known,
their work does not live up to expectations, failing to impress.

Take Salvador Dali for instance. In the 60's, his art was true and
full of countless artistic values. Almost any work he did in the 70's,
however, were more rushed and drawn for the money, hence,
lacking the message(s) or idea(s) he was trying to convey.

Conclusively, Losing your conscience in money,
taints all that's sweet as honey.



Enjoy everyone!
