Artists

As an artist you must confront yourself constantly

this is why I think it is the only way to live

how can you ever become your most evolved self

if you are not constantly confronting the un-confrontable things

in your beliefs, in your head, in your heart, in your dna?

You have to learn to empathize with everyone

in every situation

you must learn to understand certain motives

that may make your stomach churn

you must live a thousand lives

and believe each one

the artist's work is never done

and the work- though often questioned

by both society and the artists themselves

is extremely important

we must be scientists of the soul

the human experience

we must be doctors of the deeds

we deem humane

we must tread paths

yet undiscovered

use imagination to see what has yet been

unseen

we are the receivers and the givers

the vessels through which all can live and feel

we are the memory recorders

living human time capsules

here to introduce you to yourselves

and where you've been

and the cautionary tales of things ahead.
