Art For Art's Sake

There are plenty of Ayn Rand followers around but there is something called "Art for Art's Sake" I have gotten paid for writing - even sold some poems However, I feel that Art for Art's sake is not a lot of nonsense Poetry can liberate the spirit and bring to life feelings that money just can't buy So does Chock Full of Nuts coffee However, I don't drink coffee preferring to mellow out with some tea "the green kind" I certainly wish success to the Green Pavillion poets All the time realizing that writing is a great escape from the troubles of life I. also realize that there are some very great poets out there in the darkness who never get up and read their work who will become known in the future long after we have returned to dust
