A Masterpiece
A masterpiece,
What is that?
Who decides
What is an
Amazing work
Of art that
Is above all
The rest?
Who is the
Judge that
Decided whether
One painting
Or story is
A genuine piece
Of shining gold?
What is there
To the process
Of deciding on
What makes a
Piece of art
So good; are
There certain
Criteria that have
To be met
To get more
Points for it?
Why do they
Have to be
Compared to
One another
To prove the
Grandness of
The first over
The other?
Why have different
Competitions by many
Types of people
That have different
Biases of their
Own towards which
They will pick
And which they
Will not?
Why does a
Piece have to
Be seen by
Many to finally
Be recognized as
A masterpiece?
I get that
A piece can
Be objectively better
Than another, but
It is also very
Subjective in the
Same exact way
Who really knows
What is going
On in someone’s
Head when they
Read or see
Something made by
Someone else; it
Could affect their
Opinion or go
Against what they
Believe or know
In a real sense,
How can people
Be trusted to
Understand whether
A piece of art
Is “good” or “bad”
When feelings can
Affect the outcome?
But I guess,
It’s the only way
To tell because
What else do poems
And art and writing
Appeal to other than
The emotions of
People, so I guess
The subjective truth
Is the same as
The objective truth
In this case
