Alphabetic Dissent


Amazingly, pretentious artists actually exist Blissfully ignorant of the fact that Consciously barring any form of creativity Defies the very essence of art. Egotistical brats compartmentalizing their feelings. Favorite ideas are not always the best ideas. Generous delusions constantly causing Hubris in its greatest form In spite of all logic and reason Jeering their peers and colleagues Kindly judgements are no longer in existence. Loose-lipped critics should be the mute. Marring the ambition of an artist Never benefits the masses Over the helpful push Provided by a caring teacher. Cue the worst of them all “Real art doesn’t look like that.” Sordid elitists ramble on The tenants they cite remain Unwritten and subjective Vain in all respects. Whenever the pretentious artist looks upon someone X-ray eyes penetrating, judging, insulting Yield calm response Zealots help nothing on either side.
