The Shit Called Art

You say the world needs art

As I watch your delusion wallow your existence

The world doesn't need privileges, only the basics

And art you see, is a privilege

Do you ever see the rich care as much about art as you do

Do you see the poor care as much about art as you do

Art matters to them only if it means money

For the rich want to get richer

And the poor want a day's meal

But you, you my dear delusion middle class fuck

You think art is a struggle

When truly it's really you romancing the idea of it

Art is your eulogy to your dead dreams

Because you were privileged enough to dream

But never privileged enough to be dished them out to you

And while you were busy begging privileges for paychecks

Life aged in wrinkles and not chardonnays 

So you sought art to be your refuge

A desperate lament to hold onto your long dead dreams and long lost life

For the ones who could sell art have sold them to the lust of luxury

And yet here you are, screaming your art to the world

A middle class madman who calls himself an artist
