Art Is Life

From the Sumerians to today,

life has been expressed in art,

part of many a religion, more

or less.

Poets worked out their lives in

words…Ginsberg howled,

Rimbaud and Burroughs wrote

their nightmares on paper until

they lost their power.

Bukowski, Miller, DeQuincy

and more weren’t just scribbling,

no

it is their blood and sweat in those

lines that freed them from their 

prisons.

I know what they did so beautiful 

that people still read and feel the

breath of their lives as close as you

can get to eternity.
