An artist has every right - one may even say a duty - to exhibit his productions as prominently as he can.

The artist finds, that the more he can confine his attention to a particular part of any work, his productions are the more perfect, and grow under his hands in the greater quantities.

What people want is not what some would call imaginative and often austere productions but very lavish productions which cast back into the auditorium an image of their affluence.

Exhibit A
What appears,
Is a clear re-introduction of reality.
You can say it's Exhibit A.
The one quickly scanned...
When sweetened dreams,
Were distributed to be held...
In fat greedy hands.
Exhibit A depicted...
What would occur,
If deceit was released
To be inflicted.
But as always...
As temptations do.
Blind those who believe,
They are among the chosen few.
Those who are usually the ones left screwed.
Exhibit A...
Was not just there on display,
For folks to glance and walk away!
Exhibit A...
Though abstract!
Presented facts of discomforts.
Facts presented by those nonconforming.
Facts shouted out.
And now those degradations...
Come to visit,
Those who are being...
Economically tossed about,
In a suffering they were led to believe...
Would never be theirs to bear!
But...
No one prepared,
For Exhibit A to be harsh on them.
Not those who entertained their selfishness!
Not those who maintained and fed their whims.
Not today!
Not Exhibit A.
To begin all over again for 'them'!
And theirs.
Who flaunted their wares,
Without a mercy they cared to share!
What appears,
Is a clear re-introduction of reality.
You can say it's Exhibit A.
The one quickly scanned...
When sweetened dreams,
Were distributed to be held...
In fat greedy hands.
Now demanding full attention.
An attention that commands!

The day i was born! (26 / 10 / 2011 / 03: 15-AF) .
I respect the day i was born, because it proves a point of my reasons in planet earth. /
I am addicted to knowledge & information about respect. /
Hence, i disindulge myself from different people. /
I have been an author from the day i was born. /
I find it hard to give up my career, because it made me to achieve my victory. /

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

Megalo-Maniac Type Specific
Control. Control. Control.
All. All else. Everything else.
Death. Pain. Poverty.
Dealt with indifferently.
Rejecting charm in power quest
indomitable will to super impose.
The megalomaniac seeking
to be feared not to be loved.
Exhibit A: many lunatics
clearly certifiably insane.
Exhibit B: most presumed
great men of history?

Ang Kabangis Sa Iyang Silingan
ug ang iyang abogado mipakita
sa mga larawan:
exhibit 1: ang itsura
sa usa ka iring nga nabulhog
kay ang iyang usa ka
mata sa wala gilangkat
ginamit ang kutsilyo
exhibit 2: ang mga nangapaknit
nga panit sa iring nga abohon
gilaphawan sa ininit nga
tubig gikan sa kusina
exhibit 3: ang usa ka bag-ong
natawo nga iring, gamay pa
sa kuting nga gidat-ogan
sa galingan sa mais, napidyat
ug ang dugo misiplit ug
nakamantsa sa usa ka
puti nga t-shirt
mao kana ang mga ebidensya
batok sa iyang silingan nga mga iro
og pamatasan
ang misumbong mao
ang mga iring nga namarog
sa katakos sa ilang pangatarungan
nga dili gustong ibutang
sa ilang mga kawras ang balaod
sa ilang miyaw nga kalibotan

Let's just say that I think any person who aspires, presumes, or feels the calling to be an artist has a built-in sense of duty.

The main reason he wanted to be a recording artist was because it gives you much more freedom in your writing. You only have to please the artist and the artist is you so you can be more daring and experimental.

Crime
Shirking duty
Is crime
Shirking duty
Is sin
Shirking duty
Brings discredit
And losing honour
And fame
Shirking duty
Is painful and infamy
Shunning duty
Is a crime
Is a sin.

Ah, well, do I wish that we lived in a world where gender didn't figure so prominently? Of course. Do I even think about myself as a woman when I go to make art? Of course not.

To the Teacher.
To The Teacher.
Teach my child the formation of the letters
Love and affection, science maths, chemistry and physics
With some short stories, songs and poems
Not only the theoriticals, practicals of massive productions
But also the outcomes of harmful by productions
Not to make a genious to produce automic bombs
But to rescue living beings from those welthier mines
Gold, silver and copper to illuminate ornaments and aeroplanes.

Galatea (a riff)
What perfection in eye and cheek,
She shifts her body, I cannot speak,
Her back's soft light of muscled bone
That I would frame in marble stone;
What arrogance in handheld tool
That I could take what's learned in school
And reproduce her subtle beauty
Oh Pygmalion, you fail in duty.
With grace she moves to part the curtain,
In dusky light she stands uncertain
To check the time she has to pose,
What innocence denied of clothes.
Oh Artist here stands your Art
With breathing lips, a beating heart,
She turns to me, head over shoulder,
Complains to me, the room's grown colder.
I take an iron and stoke the coals,
How burns the furnace of my soul,
Oh I would warm her in my arms,
Would violation arouse alarm?
But she resumes her model perch,
Her innocence I would not besmirch,
But I am poor and ill-equipped
To carve the ivory of her hip.
Her perfection stalls my hand
It overcomes my code as man,
I kneel before her radiant beauty
And as an artist forget my duty

Duty And Work!
Sun rises and sets everyday;
Moon rises and sets everyday;
Plough man ploughs the field;
Poets love to compose poems!
Some love to do duty well;
But many do only for profit.
How duty has to be done?
What do duty, work mean?
Duty is done expecting none;
Work is done expecting some.
Duty and work all have to do;
But duty, works are different!
Duty is life work for everyone;
Work is done to live life here!

The Artist
The Artist and his Luckless Wife
They lead a horrid haunted life,
Surrounded by the things he's made
That are not wanted by the trade.
The world is very fair to see;
The Artist will not let it be;
He fiddles with the works of God,
And makes them look uncommon odd.
The Artist is an awful man,
He does not do the things he can;
He does the things he cannot do,
And we attend the private view.
The Artist uses honest paint
To represent things as they ain't,
He then asks money for the time
It took to perpetrate the crime.

Making social comment is an artificial place for an artist to start from. If an artist is touched by some social condition, what the artist creates will reflect that, but you can't force it.
