Artists Albatross

Artist’s Albatross

Dictators hate, fascists and socialists cannot relate
The heirs of Plato versus Aristotle’s slate
Jump to reason revealed the free world
Lyceum the core foundation of it all

The Politics, a blueprint for the New England dream
Eventually in Philadelphia it was born with screams
Do not forget the solemnity of Solon
Body named Supreme Court his courteous Solomon

The Intellectual is liberty’s child
But children can betray their parents in time
Artists as in aesthetics encompass the whole
They tell, uplift, enrich but can bring you into a hole

Artist’s albatross, those who will keep individualism will cry
Write, compose, play or sing these the collectivists decry
For nothing is stronger than words, music and play
Be courageous and brave as the art you say
