Poetic Podcast Episode 21 Bop
Avoiding taboo and chasing followers
has taken art in a bromidic direction;
Everyone’s so worried about blowback!
Creativity is now clouded imagery;
Softened up playing to the masses,
no longer willing to be a little offensive;
If the musicians won’t sing about it,
if the Industry won’t make films about it?
The poets WILL speak up;
Left without fiery creators or leaders,
now we are starved for open discussion;
Frustration will find a nasty outlet
rooted in everything except logic;
Blessed with a much broader reach
but the artists sit locked in a chokehold;
What does an empty vessel lead to?
A feverish rise of audience aggression;
If the musicians won’t sing about it,
if the Industry won’t make films about it?
The poets WILL speak up;
Where are the actor’s grandiose roles,
don’t you see something is missing?
Not just the backdrop music is life,
what is the future of rock stars?
Armed with words chosen to intrigue,
writers will take hold of the reins;
If the musicians won’t sing about it,
if the Industry won’t make films about it?
The poets WILL speak up.
