Beware of Wisdom
In case you’re an artist, beware of wisdom
Experience brings reassurance
That you have developed yourself into system
Through years of work and endurance
But don’t fool yourself with a pretty deceit
You can’t do it right, though you try
Experience tells you to do what you did
But anyway, it’s a far cry
From works of the past, that achieved a success
Now you want to generalize
But the more you come up with better be less
The wisdom you gained isn’t wise
Cause its dull as a hell, and was meant to be this
Who told you that art should be limited?
Your sycophants laugh, cause they know what is missed
You can’t afford one more naiviety.
