The Starving Artist?
What ever happened to
the starving artist?
Who traded food for
paint?
Who traded fame for
truth?
Who died while still
in youth?
Who took the path so
rarely trodden?
Who died and was at
once forgotten?
But at the end of an
age, was revealed to be a sage.
Now we have the
millionaire artist.
Who trades their soul
for wealth.
Who trades the truth
for a lie.
Who is greatly
mourned for after they die.
But in a week passes
into oblivion.
And whose ornate tombstone given them
In one hundred years will disappear.
In one hundred years will disappear.
