Artists in each of the arts seek after and care for nothing but love.

Not What Was Meant
When the Academy of Arts demanded freedom
Of artistic expression from narrow-minded bureaucrats
There was a howl and a clamour in its immediate vicinity
But roaring above everything
Came a deafening thunder of applause
From beyond the Sector boundary.
Freedom! it roared. Freedom for the artists!
Freedom all round! Freedom for all!
Freedom for the exploiters! Freedom for the warmongers!
Freedom for the Ruhr cartels! Freedom for Hitler's generals!
Softly, my dear fellows...
The Judas kiss for the artists follows
Hard on the Judas kiss for the workers.
The arsonist with his bottle of petrol
Sneaks up grinning to
The Academy of Arts.
But it was not to embrace him, just
To knock the bottle out of his dirty hand that
We asked for elbow room.
Even the narrowest minds
In which peace is harboured
Are more welcome to the arts than the art lover
Who is also a lover of the art of war.

There Is An Art To Teaching
there is an art to teaching
some teachers are even good artists
these gift teach with understanding
science mathematics as arts
some teachers teach time in music arts
art itself is infinite awesome visions
spanning time space gift possibilities
art is the creation of divinity thumbs

My first concern was to take care of my drawing. I did not have any knowledge in arts, especially Haitian arts, apart from the paintings I saw in my father's office.

America has not always been kind to its artists and scholars. Somehow the scientists always seem to get the penthouse while the arts and humanities get the basement.

Employment Of Instincts
Rage is inborn to guard self;
Love is inborn to care others.
Fear is inbuilt to save self;
Pride is inbuilt to tend others.
Want is given to seek needs;
Luck is given to feed others.
Sex is given to grow the race.;
Lust is given to grow the arts.
Employ them judiciously
And earn a name for your life.

The arts have only ever interested a small minority of people, which acted as a kind of nursery to support artists.

I think this confusion leads intellectuals and artists themselves to believe that the elite arts and humanities are a kind of higher, exalted form of human endeavor.

Fatimeh
I will never forget this important day on your love,
For words alone cannot express my love for you;
So come out with the flying colours of your hidden love towards me,
For i am the one that you do seek.
Take care Fatimeh,
Because i do care for you;
And this love in the air around you is what i need.
I love you and i want you to know,
For a new morrow is yet to come on this sweet love that we share.

Where Is She?
I seek for love but,
Nowhere to find her;
I seek for peace but,
Nowhere to find her;
Like the best designs in my bathroom,
I will keep on seking till i find her.
Misunderstanding and mislead,
Who can appreciate my loneliness?
Invite me to your party and feel my heart beat,
I am the captain of your true love;
So tell me if you are the one.
I have a dream! !
And my dream is to seek for you my love;
Tell me if you are the one.
Have you seen her?
Where is she?
Tell me if you are closer to me;
I seek to know where you are,
I will keep on seeking till i find you.
I seek only for your love,
Feel my heart beat and know how i care;
I am the captain of your love and,
I will keeep on seeking till i find you.

I have come to believe that a great teacher is a great artist and that there are as few as there are any other great artists. Teaching might even be the greatest of the arts since the medium is the human mind and spirit.

Bestowers Of Transformative Vision
pathos suffering passion
ripe within bodily experience
pathos of culture artistic expression
artists the 'I give birth to'
shape shifters people creators
bestowers of transformative vision
sentence seen is life vibration alteration
passionate in artistic creation expression
enrichers of web strand seekers beholders
artists hung upon vision quests
artists hung upon life beat heart beats
artists hung upon eyes burning in soul flame
artists historical now you see them now you don’t

Visual Artists
To stimulate!
Visual artists;
Hatred is the ingredient of war! !
But, love is bigger than the ocean.
To be loved,
Bench, Ben, hen!
A walk to Columbia River,
To take the challenge!
And, to take a step.
Visual artists!
With positive minds than negative;
For, true love is better than hatred! !
And, we all need love than war.

When They Have
When they have...
They care less who has not.
Few do care,
And that is shown.
When they had and now do not...
They seek empathy!
They seek relief from their grieving.
Unaccustomed to having their needs go unfulfilled,
Their eyes soften.
They become humbled.
This act had been used in the past!
But this is not historic.
What is...
Is their discovery of the act of caring.
This now,
Depends on their survival.
And they realize...
Few among them know how!

We Who....
we who would seek a home,
find our home with the homeless.
we who seek truth,
know the tree to be a tree!
we who seek liberty,
throw all that we own onto the fire.
we who seek love,
feed the hungry.
we who seek companionship,
simply become dialogue...
we who would seek god,
well, all of the above.
we who seek tomorrow,
give today to a stranger...
and wrap his feet up
with our dreams!

Seek Beauty
how long
and how lonely
are the steeps of your lies
and yet
how painfully liberating is the path that your truth requires?
so seek
seek beauty
in laughter and in tears
seek love
and fantastic colours just may highlight the dust in your eyes
seek beauty
coz in the end
when the lamp oil
burnt the flicker once and for all
we fade
we perish in that final hour
savouring the promise of glorious dawn
so seek
seek beauty in the ugly and in the vain
seek love
and fantastic colours just may highlight
the dust in your eyes
seek beauty
and take joy
in your daily struggle
let go repulsion as it clings to the shock
discovery
entering illumination
the transformation of matter into void
so seek
seek beauty
in corruption and in the pure
seek love
and fantastic colours just may highlight the dust in your eyes
seek beauty
seek beauty!
