watching artists
i respect
chase after money
over the art
leaves me sickened
becoming empty
trend chasers
in the pursuit of
fleeting fame when
they could be leaving
timeless classics
choosing the dollar
shows me everything
i need to see and
frees up admiration
for those who try
to create something
new in a world of
ever degrading copies

do better. be weirder.
find your own lane.
