Artists Ache

Artist's Ache

See the angels of aesthetics out on the edge
Always standing on and sometimes slipping off the ledge
They feel the strike of authoritarian blows
Winter always lives in the artists clothes

First to describe Mankind’s tribe was the painter
Then to dominate, illuminate and excite, emerged the writer
The biggest danger to the dictator and set humanity’s mind’s free
For the skill of reading enriches as no other to the nth degree

Poetry and singing, harp to guitar, their patron saint King David
Soothes, stimulates, compliments, generates energy and captivates
Emotions always piqued, the valleys and peaks wreck then recover
Addictions and feelings, emotions constantly raw, substances a cover

Days merge into nights for the artist, as time pushes regardless
Restless with happiness and anger, see the world without glasses
Bravery and courage to stand for convictions, declared to the world
But MUST be on the side of individual liberty, the truth to behold
