Folks always extol the worth of certain souls,
Sportsmen and craftsmen and merchants,
Politicians and drivers and hairdressers,
They glorify the benefits these have upon their lives,
Overt blessings upon their lives,
But do they think of the artists?
A true unifying force of human nature,
Less important?
Less palpable in their perks perhaps?
Sculpture to break up the monotony of construction,
Literature to open the mind,
Music to bring an emotive bounce to your being,
Paintings to lay bare invisible elements of the human condition,
Theatre to bring to life stories of eons,
Dancing to exhibit human beauty in mobile styles,
Less important?
Imagine your day without television or busker melodies,
Your living space without beautifying icons,
Without the great paintings of historical genius,
These may not keep your body alive,
But they breath life into your soul,
We need the arts to be human,
And not mere machines.
Oh Amen! I absolutely agree.ππ
I’m very glad to hear that! π

β₯β₯β₯ If only we were paid what we deserve! I wish so much there were still paid government positions for artists and writers like there were during the New Deal.
Oh, I totally agree with you on this one. The arts seem to be taken for granted in my opinion. β€οΈ

So true. Completely agree! Art gives us life. Without it, we lose the purpose of life itself. Everything else is a build up to enjoy arts. π
I completely agree my friend. Thank you so much!
