#Octpowrimo day 30

There is an old phrase

“Art imitates life”.

…

Art Isn’t Dying

…

Rescue art

When it screams

Unbecoming decaying things

Should make the conscious crawl away

…

How can passion for disaster

hate-filled lyric fashion

Cut up jeans to Banksy shred

Be any statement but:   “That art is dead.”

…

Bored of their own pleasure

Wanting, working their demise

Receiving doleful measure

A dark and deadly compromise

…

Of standing, agreeing

And where wisdom once was

Mistaking fleeting feelings

Raw, uncensored, not creating.

…

This poem has no summation

‘Cause all know a salvation

Starts deep in the art

By the Refiner of heart

…
