Is Art Imitating my Life or is my Life Imitating my Art?
Rip the art from my heart
and make my words artificial
nothing short of superficial
with this onslaught of negativity
and lack of creativity
inside your world of hate
of the art that we create
denounce your ignorance
in your moment of silence
while burning by the lights of this great city
in this meaningless contest of mediocrity
bind our pens, bind our minds
rip up the paper, rip out our spines
our freedom to create is void
when our hearts have been destroyed.
