As an artist I have an even more abiding interest in the compact between the Arts and Government.

No student of history can fail to see the moral interest of the Middle Ages, any more than an artist can fail to see their aesthetic interest.

Mae Marsh, Motion Picture Actress
I
The arts are old, old as the stones
From which man carved the sphinx austere.
Deep are the days the old arts bring:
Ten thousand years of yesteryear.
II
She is madonna in an art
As wild and young as her sweet eyes:
A frail dew flower from this hot lamp
That is today's divine surprise.
Despite raw lights and gloating mobs
She is not seared: a picture still:
Rare silk the fine director's hand
May weave for magic if he will.
When ancient films have crumbled like
Papyrus rolls of Egypt's day,
Let the dust speak: "Her pride was high,
All but the artist hid away:
"Kin to the myriad artist clan
Since time began, whose work is dear."
The deep new ages come with her,
Tomorrow's years of yesteryear.

We are together with our Peace
We are all artist of the world

We all have very strong belief
That our art relate to peace
Let's sing together for peace
Let's grow together for peace
Let's sing together this song of love
For the sake of Love and Peace

The present government is very insistent that business sponsorship should replace government sponsorship of the arts. Business sponsorship won't happen unless you make tax concessions, which they won't.

I think the most important thing for an artist is to not worry about what anybody else thinks. You just have to do what comes from your heart and your being and put it out there-that's true in any of the arts.

Pay You Back With Interest
(clarke / hicks / nash)
Too many people need me
Ive got so much, so much to do
But when my travelling is over
Ill pay you back with interest
Ill pay you back with interest
It seems unfair to leave you
And sell myself the way I do
But when my wandering is over
Ill pay you back with interest
Ill pay you back with interest
Most of my life Ive been moving
And when I tire out Ill come home to you
But until then Ill be waiting
Ill pay you back with interest
Ill pay you back with interest
How cold is my room, (how cold is my room)
Without your love beside me
We look at the same old moon (looking at the moon)
But youre not here beside me
Ill pay you back with interest
Ill pay you back with interest
Break
Too many people need me
Ive got so much, so much to do
But when my travelling is over
Ill pay you back with interest
Ill pay you back with interest

The arts are not just instantaneous pleasure - if you don't like it, the artist is wrong. I belong to the generation which says if you don't like it, you don't understand and you ought to find out.

I believe in an America with a government of men devoted solely to the public interests — men of ability and dedication, free from conflict or corruption or other commitment — a responsible government that is efficient and economical, with a balanced budget over the years of the cycle, reducing its debt in prosperous times — a government willing to entrust the people with the facts that they have — not a businessman's government, with business in the saddle … not a labor government, not a farmer's government, not a government of one section of the country or another, but a government of, for and by the people.

Chinese Government On Humanitarian Human Rights
gremlins busy buzzing
through my comp circuits
hotwire havoc harvests
rummaging in my server
again for third day straight
today means I’m on track
happy vibes
outsmarts
pay back
no internet
for about
eight hours
the pitiful lengths
the brain dead
walking zombies
will go to
in trying
to stop stop
an artist
from doing
his thing
in China government
party power freaks
lock up protester artists
and throw
away
the keys
funny how
they torture
tortured artists
Chinese government
humanitarian human rights
strictly a no class rating
Chinese artist and activist
Ai Weiwei arrested
on dubious charges disappears

Confederation is a compact, made originally by four provinces but adhered to by all the nine provinces who have entered it, and I submit to the judgment of this house and to the best consideration of its members, that this compact should not be lightly altered.

I see a resurgence of interest in poetry. I am less optimistic about the prospects for the arts when it comes to federal funding.
A Nude Artist
A Nude Artist
he says he is a nude artist
because he is naked when he paints
such nakedness has
nothing to do with being a nude artist
a naked artist who paints a cat or a chicken
is not a nude artist
there is no nude cat
thyere is no nude chicken
just paint a naked woman
and he will be called a nude artist
an artist is not an art
he must know that

Art And Science
ART does not ascertain
SCIENCE does ascertain
it shows results...though
the other sows seeds
ART will never
ascertain..not its nature
as ARTS goal is not success
ART will never ascertain itself
ART is already wholesome
proving itself will never show its stature
a successful artist
will definitely have a science
behind his success...
though ARTS purpose
is never in success
ART only craves to express
yes
ART ONLY CRAVES TO EXPRESS
TODAY'S WORLD HAS
A VERY LITTLE OF ART AND MORE OF SCIENCE
a round and pretty face with no expression
or a
compelled pleasing smile from a diplomatic compulsion
