Art
Well, I've been accused
of being
way too dramatic,
but the world I accuse
of being
much too dogmatic.
I will leave it at that,
I don't want no static
don't want no arguments,
I don't want to fight,
I only want
and need to write.
And my writing
has been said
to be
quite crude,
I confess I've lived hard-
I'm no prude.
I've written of the streets, drinking
and other vice
not all my poems
are very nice.
But I've also
written of nature-
flowers and such,
It's just that art requires
reality's touch.
And a seed of art
is suffering
the scope of all
that life does
bring...
Yes, pain is a twin
to art-
it stirs the soul
and inflames
the heart!
