POEM: Arts on Fire

Artist play an important role in the resistance. This is why authoritarian regimes go after the artists and intellectuals. Also, artists make lousy slaves.

Arts on Fire

Buy hell or high water
The powers that be
Possess
A scorched earth policy
And a wrest of us
As our lives are doodled
On the margins of society
Living on the edge
Our arts on fire
Braving the greatest sensor of awe
Our skin in the game molten
In large in every seasoning
Till fully groan
Passing on
Torching
Of the dead would
As if water can
Put out
Our saving the soul
Of that dam nation
Posing as some whored of life
Their foe watering whole
After awe
Fire raging
At won
And the same time
Fore awe that is at stake
Sears of the future
In visioning a world
As we wholed in the highest
A steam
