Art Today and Ps
Leonardo Da Vinci was not just a painter
He did much more ... and lives on
Michelangelo sculpted and suffered pain
As he painted the Sistine Chapel
Is a poet similar to path-breaking artists?
II
We all endured hurtful words, even from Father Figures
Or Mother figures (but we don't admit)
We hide our family demons, some are pastors, yes
But the cost to the planet and THE OTHER has to STOP
Get help, confess even to the authorities, HEAL THYSELF artists
III
If navel-gazers, and self lovers keep writing about "ME"
Then art and poetry will be divorced
Where will the artists of communist nations be, the holocaust?
There has to be balance, I pray you agree
When a TERRORIST rampages in our midst, by holocaust of one
Even a George Floyd, the role of the ARTIST in history meets TODAY
