I love art in general; every little work Is someone’s creativity; it is true art There is also craft; it comes from concept, Creativity and the ability to repeat until Burn out, then on to a new project I have witnessed a review of artists in struggle Who loved their few patrons because rent would be paid, giving them the passion to Continue in spite of impending failure And ultimately in the end Their perseverance was rewarded For us more than them and so it is in life Ideas presented which will improve community Ego gets in the way; what could have been Never comes to fruition The potential for us all is stymied by the few The individual creators answer to themselves Those who decline progress are in fear of losing power. Andy Warhol advanced creativity His work was out of the box Many cannot understand or else feel threatened, but guess what – he wins Lichtenstein and Warhol Had two pieces in auction That sold for over forty million dollars So what do we know? Those who assume authority Make judgements contrary To the good of us all Shouldn’t we put our energy Into finding solutions rather than Stigmatizing certain conditions? Shouldn’t we be putting our Resources into the betterment of community If we do – there will be no regrets Stanski March 4, 2021 ^
