Funeral for Art

Shame and secrecy

Have come to die

Along with art

That passes

The emperor has no clothes

And we masses

Have been taken again

For asses

In an effort

To connect

To something outside of ourself

We seek meaning

In things

That often have none

Except what we ourselves imbue

Blind spots dictate

I think not me

You think not you

But it must be true

Shame and secrecy

Have come to die

Along with art

That passes

The emperor has no clothes

And we masses

Have been taken again

For asses

7/11 time

And gregarious grunts

Pentamic meter

And current shunts

Truss rods of crooked necks

Clever inventions

Or flyshit specks

Where there's nothing of the sort

Redundant formulas

A void to report

I'll retire from believing

I just don't get it

Pirata's de underground

Please just forget it

Friends that really aren't

Art devoid of emotions

Our own emotions

Bottled and sold back to us

In watered down libations of our sights

Sounds, feeling and thoughts

We are unable to convert

To art ourselves

Wise man bestowed proverbs

With sage season

Seemingly, when tried for treason

Of art with no reason
