Patronized Passion

Location

 

Art

 

Does everything to inspire

 

But cannot hire because

 

Money

 

Takes its toll and forces us to choose

 

Between life and love. Inevitably, we lose, but maintain

 

Hope

 

That someday life, love, and happiness can combine

 

To form the alliance to define the

 

Change

 

That we hope will arrive.

 

Maybe one day, an artist will be an artist without

 

Fear

 

Of being destroyed by the world

 

That does not understand a note or a chord is more than a sound.

 

A drawing is more than a curve and a line and

 

A dance is more than moving in time.

 

Artists know that art is

 

Life

 

Love

 

Happiness.

 

At the end of the day, when work and spare change scatter,

 

Passion is all that matters.
